Circuit breaker Schneider Electric WDE002046 16A 2-pole

The Schneider Electric WDE002046 is a 16A 2-pole circuit breaker designed to provide reliable protection for electrical circuits in residential and commercial installations. Its compact dimensions (69 x 143 x 32 mm) allow easy installation in standard distribution boards while safeguarding circuits against overloads and short circuits.

Advantages

The product offers compact size for space-efficient installation, two-pole protection for simultaneous disconnection of both live conductors, and a rated current of 16 A suitable for a range of branch circuits. Manufacturer life-cycle CO2 estimates provide transparency on environmental impact over an assumed 10-year service life.

Suitable for

• Protection of residential branch circuits
• Small commercial electrical installations
• Use in standard DIN-rail distribution boards
