The WMC132B is a 32 A single-pole 6 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) engineered for high-load domestic and light-commercial circuits such as cookers, immersion heaters, and fixed plant. It features a B-curve tripping characteristic that operates at 3–5 × rated current to deliver precise overcurrent and short-circuit protection without nuisance tripping.
Manufactured to BS EN 60898, the WMC132B fits Whitecliffe consumer units and all standard DIN-rail enclosures. It provides 6 kA fault capacity at 230/400 V AC and a tested mechanical life of 20 000 operations for reliable performance over years of use.
Installer Tip: Ideal for fixed-load circuits such as cookers, immersion heaters or garage feeds. Verify that cable sizing and Zs values remain within BS 7671 disconnection limits for a 32 A B-curve device.
