Description
The WKC450C is a 50A 4 pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for three-phase + neutral protection. With its C Curve trip profile, it is best for inductive loads such as motors, pumps, HVAC systems, and EV charging boards in commercial distribution panels, EV setups, and solar PV installs.
Rated to 10kA breaking capacity, the WKC450C provides overload and short-circuit protection while isolating all live phases and the neutral. It is DIN-rail mounted, bi-directional, and manufactured in accordance with BS 7671 (18th Edition).
Installer Tip: The 50A C Curve breaker is suited for high-demand inductive circuits. Typical use cases include commercial HVAC compressors, pumps, and large EV distribution panels. Always confirm that fault current levels are ≤10kA.

FAQs
What circuits is the WKC450C best for?
It is ideal for high-demand inductive loads such as HVAC compressors, pumps, and large EV distribution setups.
Why select a C Curve over a B Curve?
C Curve breakers handle higher inrush currents, preventing nuisance trips on inductive load circuits where B Curve models may fail.
Can it be used in solar or EV installs?
Yes — the 50A C Curve is suitable for EV and PV boards with moderate inrush currents, provided system fault level ≤10kA.
Is the WKC450C compliant with UK regulations?
Yes, it complies with BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IEC/EN 60898-1 standards.
