Description
The WKC416C is a 16A 4 pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for three-phase + neutral protection. With its C Curve trip characteristic, it is suitable for inductive load circuits including motors, HVAC, and EV charger distribution boards in commercial three-phase systems, EV installations, and solar PV setups.
With a 10kA breaking capacity, the WKC416C provides overload and short-circuit protection while isolating all live conductors and the neutral. It is DIN-rail mounted, bi-directional, and tested to BS 7671 (18th Edition).
Installer Tip: Choose the 16A C Curve when protecting small to medium inductive loads such as HVAC fan motors, pumps, or commercial lighting with inrush currents.

FAQs
What applications suit the WKC416C?
It is best for small to medium inductive loads such as HVAC fans, pumps, and lighting circuits with higher inrush currents.
How does a C Curve differ from a B Curve?
C Curve breakers are designed to handle moderate inrush currents, unlike B Curve models which are for resistive loads only.
Is the WKC416C suitable for EV chargers?
Yes — the 16A C Curve is suited for EV charger sub-circuits where inrush currents are common, provided the system fault current ≤10kA.
What compliance standards does it meet?
It is manufactured to BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IEC/EN 60898-1 standards.
