The WMC163C is a 63 A single-pole 6 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for large feed and distribution circuits where inrush currents from motors, welders or transformers demand higher tolerance. Its C-curve tripping profile (5–10 × In) provides robust inrush immunity while ensuring rapid disconnection during short-circuits and overloads.

Fully tested to BS EN 60898, the WMC163C fits all Whitecliffe consumer units and standard DIN-rail enclosures. It delivers 6 kA breaking capacity and 20 000 mechanical operations for long-term performance in domestic, commercial and light-industrial environments.

Installer Tip: Use 63 A C-curve breakers for main feed or distribution circuits where motors and transformers are present. Confirm Zs, voltage drop and cable capacity against BS 7671 limits before commissioning.
