Description
The WKC420B is a 20A 4 pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for three-phase + neutral protection. With its B Curve trip characteristic, it is best suited for resistive loads such as small power circuits, lighting systems, and distribution boards in three-phase networks, EV charger boards, and solar PV installs.
Offering a 10kA breaking capacity, the WKC420B provides reliable overload and short-circuit protection while isolating all live conductors and neutral. It is bi-directional, DIN-rail mounted, and manufactured to BS 7671 (18th Edition) standards.
Installer Tip: Choose the 20A B Curve when you need to protect small to medium resistive loads. Always confirm fault current capacity of the board does not exceed 10kA before selection.

FAQs
What applications is the WKC420B suited for?
It is best for resistive load circuits such as lighting, small appliances, and socket sub-circuits.
What’s the benefit of a 4-pole breaker over 3-pole?
It isolates and protects the neutral conductor as well as all three live phases, essential for three-phase + N installs.
Can this MCB be used in EV charger setups?
Yes, provided the circuit is resistive and the board fault level is within 10kA. For inductive loads, use a C curve variant.
Is this compliant with UK regulations?
Yes, it meets BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IEC/EN 60898-1.
