    The WKC210C is a 10 A 2 Pole 10 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) built for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as fans, pumps, control relays, and LED lighting drivers. Its C-curve tripping characteristic provides a short delay on energisation, reducing nuisance tripping without compromising fault protection.

    Each breaker isolates both live conductors simultaneously for complete safety and compliance with BS EN 60898-1. Compact 36 mm form allows easy installation on any 35 mm DIN rail — ideal for consumer units, enclosures, and commercial boards.

    Installer Tip: Use a C-curve MCB where inrush current exceeds the B-curve threshold — common in control panels, fan systems, or where multiple LED fittings are switched together. For low inrush or purely resistive loads, see the B-curve version.

    Key Features

    • 10 A rated – suited to HVAC control, fans, and lighting drivers
    • 10 kA breaking capacity – handles high fault levels safely
    • 2-pole design – isolates both live conductors simultaneously
    • C-curve tripping – tolerates moderate inrush on start-up
    • Bi-directional terminals – connect supply or load either end
    • Compact 36 mm width – fits standard DIN-rail consumer units
    • Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 and 18th Edition Regs

    When should I use a C-curve instead of a B-curve MCB?

    Use a C-curve when the circuit includes devices with moderate inrush currents, such as LED lighting drivers, motors, or transformers.

    Does this breaker isolate both conductors?

    Yes – the 2-pole design disconnects both live conductors simultaneously for safety and compliance.

    Is this suitable for lighting panels?

    Yes – ideal for grouped LED or control lighting circuits where B-curve devices may trip too early.

    Is it compliant with 18th Edition standards?

    Yes – tested to BS EN 60898-1 and compliant with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
