WCM8 series moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB for short) is one of updated type MCCBs researched and developed by the company by using advanced design and manufacture technology internationally. The rated insualted voltage is 800V (500V for WCM1-63). It applies for infrequent switch of the line of AC 50Hz, rated operation voltage 690V and below (400V for WCM1-63), and for infrequent starting of the motor. The MCCB with overload, short circuit and under-voltage protection fitting can protect the line and power device
from damage. The MCCB is classified into four types individually as Type C (low breaking), Type L (standard), Type M (higher breaking), Type H (very high breaking) according to the rated ultimate short circuit breaking capacity (Icu) ranking. The MCCB is small in volume, high breaking capacity, short flashover (zero flashover of some spare parts), and vibration resistance, is the ideal product for using on land and at ship. The MCCB can be installed verticall (vertical mounting), and horizontally (horizontal mounting).

The case of an MCCB is injection-moulded from a heat-resistant engineering thermoplastic (such as glass-filled BMC or PBT) rather than sheet steel. This plastic housing provides electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and arc containment, and it isolates the live internal parts from the user. The material must withstand elevated temperatures without deformation or tracking, which is why quality of the plastic is a key differentiator between cheap and reliable MCCBs.
A competitively priced MCCB can still be safe if it is built to IEC 60947-2 / GB 14048.2 and carries genuine CE and CCC marks. Cost is reduced by efficient automated production, high local content, and lower overhead — not by cutting copper, silver contacts, or arc-chute material. Always ask for type-test reports, certificates, and a sample before placing a bulk order.
Verify: (1) the CE/CCC certificates are genuine and cover the exact model; (2) the rated current, voltage, and breaking capacity (Icu/Ics) match your project; (3) the terminal torque and dimensions match your panel; (4) samples pass a visual and electrical inspection; and (5) the supplier can provide long-term spare parts and warranty documentation. Avoid units with no nameplate, no certifications, or suspiciously low prices.
Yes, provided they carry the required destination certifications. Westhomes manufactures CE-marked MCCBs that meet the Low Voltage Directive and can be sold in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. For North America, UL 489 versions or a separate UL-certified model may be required. Confirm the target market's certification requirements before ordering.
MOQ depends on the model and customization level. Standard catalogue MCCBs are typically available from very small quantities for sample orders, while private-label OEM orders usually require a few hundred to a few thousand units. Contact Westhomes with your target model, quantity, and destination to obtain a firm quotation and lead time.
The base MCCB price scales with frame size (100A → 630A) and breaking capacity (22kA → 50kA). Accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, motor operators, and earth-leakage modules each add a fraction of the base price. When comparing wholesale quotes, make sure the configurations are identical (poles, breaking capacity, trip type, accessories) so the comparison is fair.
A Westhomes MCCB can be a drop-in replacement if the frame size, dimensions, rated current, breaking capacity, and terminal type match the original. Always verify the overall dimensions, cut-out, busbar hole pattern, and trip characteristics before installation. Using an equivalent IEC 60947-2 certified breaker ensures the protection and coordination of the circuit remain correct.
Westhomes typically offers a standard warranty (commonly 18 months from shipment) covering manufacturing defects. After-sales support includes technical documentation, wiring diagrams, trip-curve charts, and replacement spare parts. For wholesale customers, dedicated sales and engineering contacts help resolve commissioning or coordination questions quickly.
Mount the breaker on a flat, rigid panel using the provided fixing lugs or DIN rail. Connect supply to the line terminals and load to the load terminals with correctly sized lugs tightened to the specified torque. Maintain the manufacturer's minimum clearance around the breaker for heat dissipation and arc venting. Keep the plastic case clean and free of conductive dust; do not paint or drill into the case.
Plastic-case MCCBs are used across industrial distribution panels, motor control centers, building services, water-treatment plants, manufacturing lines, and commercial switchboards. Their cost-effectiveness makes them ideal for high-volume projects — such as apartment complexes, factory build-outs, and infrastructure tenders — where many identical feeder breakers are required. Bulk wholesale pricing makes such projects economically viable.
