The WKC240B is a 40A 2 Pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed to protect higher-load radial and feeder circuits against short-circuit and overload faults. The B-curve tripping profile ensures rapid disconnection for resistive and low-inrush circuits such as outbuilding sub-mains, immersion heaters, and EV control feeds.

With dual-pole isolation, both live conductors are disconnected simultaneously to enhance safety and regulatory compliance under BS EN 60898-1. The compact 36 mm housing allows easy DIN-rail mounting within consumer units or three-phase boards.

Installer Tip: Use a 40A B-curve MCB for small sub-main feeds or high-current resistive circuits. For equipment with heavier startup current – such as large pumps or compressors – consider the C-curve or D-curve alternative.
