The WKC232C is a 32 A 2 Pole 10 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for reliable short-circuit and overload protection on circuits with moderate inrush current. The C-curve tripping profile provides tolerance for start-up surges — perfect for motors, ring mains, and sub-distribution feeds.
Its dual-pole configuration isolates both live conductors at once, ensuring safety and compliance with BS EN 60898-1. The 36 mm housing mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail in consumer units, metal boards, or commercial panels.
Installer Tip: Select a C-curve 32 A MCB for ring mains, motor circuits, or EV sub-feeds that experience moderate inrush current. For purely resistive loads, consider the B-curve version.
Key Features
- 32 A rated – ideal for ring finals, motors, and sub-mains
- 10 kA breaking capacity – withstands high fault levels in commercial installs
- 2-pole isolation – disconnects both live conductors simultaneously
- C-curve tripping – prevents false trips on inrush or startup loads
- Bi-directional terminals – allows flexible wiring from supply or load
- 36 mm (2 modules) width for compact board fit
- Tested to IEC/EN 60898-1 for 18th Edition compliance

When should I choose a 32 A C-curve MCB?
Use for circuits with moderate inrush — like motors, EV feeds, or ring mains — where a B-curve could trip too quickly.
Does this isolate both live conductors?
Yes – the 2-pole mechanism disconnects both lines together for safe maintenance.
Can I use it for EV installations?
Yes – suitable for EV control or feed circuits when used within compliant boards. See our EV-ready range.
Is it 18th Edition compliant?
Yes – tested to BS EN 60898-1 and designed for full compliance with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
