Description
The WKC406C is a 6A 4 pole 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for three-phase + neutral protection. With its C Curve trip characteristic, it is suited to inductive load circuits such as motors, HVAC, and commercial distribution boards in three-phase systems, EV charging units, and solar PV setups.
Built with a 10kA breaking capacity, the WKC406C provides overload and short-circuit protection while disconnecting all live phases and the neutral. It is DIN-rail mounted, bi-directional, and fully compliant with BS 7671 (18th Edition).
Installer Tip: Use a C Curve breaker where moderate inrush currents are expected — such as with fluorescent lighting, small motors, or EV charger sub-circuits. Always confirm that the prospective fault current does not exceed 10kA.

FAQs
When should I choose a C Curve MCB?
C Curve devices are used where moderate inrush currents are present, such as small motors, HVAC units, and EV charger sub-circuits.
What’s the difference between a B Curve and C Curve?
B Curve is for resistive loads like lighting and sockets, while C Curve handles inductive loads with higher inrush currents.
Is the WKC406C suitable for EV charging circuits?
Yes — particularly for sub-circuits where chargers or associated equipment may draw moderate inrush current.
Does it comply with UK regs?
Yes, it is manufactured to BS 7671 (18th Edition) and IEC/EN 60898-1 standards.
