Description
The WKC425B is a 25A 4 pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for three-phase + neutral circuits. With a B Curve trip profile, it is best used for resistive loads such as lighting banks, socket circuits, and small distribution panels in commercial three-phase boards, EV distribution units, and solar PV systems.
Rated at 10kA breaking capacity, the WKC425B ensures reliable overload and short-circuit protection with complete neutral isolation. It is DIN-rail mounted, bi-directional, and fully compliant with BS 7671 (18th Edition).
Installer Tip: The 25A B Curve breaker is a good choice for general socket or small power distribution circuits. Always confirm fault levels do not exceed 10kA before selection.

FAQs
What circuits is a 25A B Curve breaker suited to?
It’s commonly used for socket circuits and small power distribution where load inrush is low.
Why use a 4-pole breaker instead of 3-pole?
It isolates and protects the neutral along with all three live phases, giving full disconnection for three-phase + N circuits.
Can this MCB be used for EV charging circuits?
Yes, provided it’s protecting a resistive load and the system fault level is within 10kA. For inductive charger loads, a C Curve model is preferable.
Does the WKC425B comply with regulations?
Yes — it meets BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IEC/EN 60898-1 standards.
