Description

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
