The Schneider Electric ENW24292 is a 4-pole switch disconnector from the EasyPact NW range, rated 4000 A in AC-23A duty at 690 V AC — meaning it handles motor switching and high-stress loads like welding transformers or capacitor banks where the making and breaking current can exceed the full-load value.
The headline number is 4000 A at 690 V in AC-23A — that's the heaviest utilisation category for switch disconnectors, covering occasional switching of motors and other high-inductive loads. If your application is purely resistive (heater banks, lighting), the same switch will carry more current, but AC-23A is the limiting case for motor duty. Short-time withstand (Icw) is 66 kA for 1 second or 36 kA for 3 seconds — that's the fault current the switch can survive without welding closed. The making capacity (Icm) is 143 kA peak, so it can close onto a bolted fault upstream of the protection device. The IP40 enclosure keeps out tools and wires over 1 mm but not water; mount it in a cabinet if there's washdown or outdoor exposure.
Fixed mounting on a base plate, rear-connected with a 115 mm connection pitch without spreader. Neutral is on the right. The dimensions are 537 mm wide by 352 mm high by 297 mm deep — that's a large-frame switch; plan for a swing-out or withdrawable mounting arrangement if panel access is tight.
