The WKC206C is a 6 A 2 Pole 10 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for protecting small-load circuits with moderate inrush current. Its C-curve tripping characteristic provides a short delay on energisation, making it ideal for LED lighting, control circuits, and low-power motors where a standard B-curve might nuisance trip.
This double-pole MCB isolates both live conductors simultaneously, ensuring compliance with BS EN 60898-1. Compact 36 mm form fits any 35 mm DIN rail enclosure in consumer units, metal boards, or three-phase panels.
Installer Tip: Choose a C-curve when circuits include transformers, drivers, or small motors that draw higher inrush current at start-up. For purely resistive loads, the B-curve version is typically sufficient.
Key Features
- 6 A rated – perfect for control and lighting circuits
- 10 kA breaking capacity – safe for high-fault environments
- 2-pole isolation – disconnects both live conductors simultaneously
- C-curve tripping – allows brief inrush without nuisance tripping
- Bi-directional terminals – line or load connection either end
- 36 mm (2 modules) – compact DIN-rail fit
- Fully compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 and 18th Edition Regs

When should I use a C-curve MCB?
Use C-curve breakers for lighting or control circuits with moderate inrush currents (e.g. LED drivers or small motors) to avoid nuisance tripping.
Does this unit isolate both live conductors?
Yes – as a 2-pole device it disconnects both lines simultaneously for safe maintenance.
Is it compliant with BS EN 60898-1?
Yes – manufactured to BS EN 60898-1 and fully compliant with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.
Can this be used for LED lighting circuits?
Yes – its C-curve profile is specifically suited to LED loads with higher start-up surge current
