The WAC2P32 is a robust 2 Pole 32 A modular contactor built for precise, noise-free switching of lighting, HVAC, EV charging, and automation loads. Compact and DIN-rail mountable, it fits seamlessly into consumer units and modular enclosures where quiet operation and reliability are essential.
Rated for AC-7a (resistive) and AC-1 (inductive) loads, the WAC2P32 delivers long-term performance under heavy-duty domestic and light commercial use. It is fully tested to BS EN 61095 and BS EN 60947-4-1, ensuring safe operation and easy inspection under the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
Installer Tip: The 32 A rating is a sweet spot for heat pumps and EV chargers drawing up to 7 kW on single-phase supplies. Install in a well-ventilated board and pair with a suitable RCBO for overcurrent protection.
- Silent operation – ideal for domestic and commercial use
- 2-pole design switches both live conductors for safety
- DIN-rail mount for fast fit into boards or enclosures
- Compatible with AC-7a and AC-1 load categories
- Certified to BS EN 61095 and BS EN 60947-4-1

What is the WAC2P32 used for?
It switches and controls single-phase loads up to 32 A, commonly used for heat pumps, EV chargers, lighting banks and automation systems.
Is the WAC2P32 quiet in operation?
Yes – it features a silent coil design ideal for residential and office environments where audible switching is undesirable.
Can it be combined with other protection devices?
Yes – pair with RCBOs or RCDs for overcurrent and earth fault protection. It can also be used alongside SPDs and PME fault detection units.
Does it meet UK standards?
Yes – fully compliant with BS EN 61095 and BS EN 60947-4-1, meeting 18th Edition requirements (BS 7671).
What makes it suitable for EV and renewable systems?
The 32 A rating supports typical single-phase EV chargers and heat pump loads up to 7 kW while maintaining quiet operation and regulatory compliance.
