This changes everything. You want lower operating costs.
Less downtime. Better
communications. You want to
work with fewer parts. In less

You need the freedom to make

advantage of quick-ship
opportunities. And you want it
all with the assurance of fit-and-

modularity
It’s a complicated request. So you turn to a simple concept. The
Tangram. An ancient Chinese game in which a few simple
components provide endless possibilities. You take this concept of
Tangram-like modularity and apply it to a new breed of breakers.
Suddenly you have unlimited possibilities with steadfast reliability.
It’s called the WL Circuit Breaker.

And it changes everything.

Easy to use. Easy to choose.
With so many options and so much
flexibility, the WL is the obvious choice
for virtually any application. It supports
systems from 200A to 5000A and
reflects our conviction that no matter
how sophisticated a solution may be,
it still must be easy to use. Easy to
install. And easy to maintain.

to this kind of detail that makes the WL
such a great breaker to work with.
easy planning If a product is known for its reliability,
shouldn’t the support behind it be
just as reliable?
The WL is there when you need it.
So are we. With a reliable sales and
support network that ensures fast
customer delivery times and
quick-ship opportunities.
The more demanding
your application, the more
you need this breaker.
Difficult conditions. Tight spaces.
Changing specifications. High standards
for critical systems. The WL was made
for them. And that’s welcome news in
demanding industries.
Compact size for Panelboard and
Switchboard Builders
Its small footprint and easy operation
make the WL unique. Based on a typical
bill of materials, switchgear with
WL Circuit Breakers uses up to 48% less
floor space than other major brands.
Reliability and accuracy for

Engine Generator Manufacturers
The rugged reliability of the WL ensures
long life. The electronic trip unit tracks
and communicates potential life
expectancy based on contact wear.
A ready-to-close indicator checks system
status to ensure breaker-readiness at
a critical time.
Durable construction for Marine and
Petro-Chemical Equipment Makers
Designed to last, the attention to detail
even extends to parts such as cover
screws with permanent inserts instead of
self-tapping bolts which can be stripped.
The ideal system solution for
Electrical Consultants
You get multiple protocol capability
without external breaker hardware.
Not only can the breaker be controlled
remotely, but it can alert maintenance
personnel via cell or pager alarms.
