Why choose curve C?
Tripping curve C (between 5 and 10 × In) is suitable for general circuits with moderate inrush currents:
- Photovoltaic inverters (soft start)
- Heat pumps and heating systems
- Lighting circuits and sockets
- Charging points for electric vehicles
💡 Good to know: Vynckier's EP30/EP32 series is now produced under the ABB brand since the takeover of Vynckier. You can receive either a product marked "Vynckier" or "ABB" depending on stocks, as both are strictly identical technically.
Integration into your photovoltaic installations
The EP32C63 circuit-breaker can be integrated into several of Wattuneed's typical configurations:
- In a single-phase AC protection box: combined with a 2P 63A type A or AC differential switch
- Hybrid inverter protection: secures the AC output of Deye, Sofar and Huawei inverters up to 15 kW
- House main line: at the distribution header to supply a sub-divisional switchboard
- Heat pump circuit or EV terminal: dedicated protection for large consumers
Advantages of the ABB-Vynckier brand
- Proven reliability: Belgian brand with a long history in electrical protection
- CEBEC compliance: approved for the Belgian and European markets
- Universal compatibility: standard 35mm DIN rail mounting
- Easy wiring: screw terminals accept rigid and flexible cables
- Simplified maintenance: parts available and interchangeable
Installation and precautions for use
Installation: Clip the circuit breaker onto a 35mm DIN rail in your electrical cabinet. Allow 2 modules in width (36mm).
Connection: Follow the wiring diagram supplied. Use cables rated for 63A (minimum 16mm² copper for short circuits). Tighten the terminal screws with an appropriate torque (2.5 Nm).
Selectivity: Upstream, install a circuit breaker or differential switch with a higher rating to ensure selectivity.
⚠️ Safety: Electrical equipment must be installed by a qualified electrician. Always switch off the power supply before carrying out any work. Check that your installation complies with standard NF C 15-100 (France) or RGIE (Belgium).
