Circuit breaker Schneider Electric WDE002299 16A 3-pole DIN‑rail mounting

Schneider Electric WDE002299 is a 16A 3-pole circuit breaker designed for DIN-rail mounting in residential and commercial distribution panels. It provides overcurrent protection by interrupting fault currents caused by overloads and short circuits, helping to safeguard wiring and connected equipment. The breaker’s compact form factor and standardized DIN-rail clip make it suitable for integration into modular electrical assemblies and switchboards.

Advantages

The device combines reliable tripping performance with a durable mechanical construction for consistent operation under normal and fault conditions. Its three-pole configuration allows simultaneous disconnection of all phases for safer maintenance and clearer protection of multi-phase circuits. The unit’s compatibility with standard DIN-rail systems simplifies installation and replacement in existing panels.

Suitable for

• Protection of three-phase branch circuits in small commercial and residential buildings
• Use in modular distribution boards and consumer units mounted on DIN rails
• Replacement of like-for-like overcurrent protection devices in electrical panels

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Number of poles: 3 (three-phase)
• Mounting: Standard DIN-rail
• Protection type: Overload and short-circuit interruption
• Mechanical design: Compact modular housing suitable for panel integration

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard DIN rail in an isolated, de-energized panel space according to applicable electrical codes and wiring diagrams. Connect the line and load conductors to the appropriate terminals, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws and correct phase orientation. After wiring, verify proper operation by switching the breaker on and off and, where required, perform an insulation and continuity test before energizing the full circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this breaker as part of a complete protection scheme: match the breaker rating to cable ampacity and downstream devices, maintain clearances inside the panel, and ensure periodic inspection for signs of wear or overheating. Any installation or maintenance should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations.
