GE WPH16 WavePro 1600A

The GE WPH‑16 WavePro 1600A is a high interrupting capacity low‑voltage power air circuit breaker from General Electric’s WavePro series, engineered for use in industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems. It features a 1600‑ampere frame rating and is designed to protect three‑phase power circuits from overloads, short‑circuit faults, and abnormal conditions by reliably interrupting current during fault events. The WPH‑16 designation indicates a High Interrupting Capacity (HIC) variant of the WavePro family, providing an interrupting rating of approximately 65 kA RMS symmetrical at 480 V ac—higher than standard interrupting models—making it suitable for demanding power distribution environments and larger transformer applications.

This breaker typically comes in a draw‑out mechanism for ease of installation, maintenance, and serviceability within switchgear assemblies, and can be operated either manually or electrically depending on the model configuration. It supports a range of trip units (such as MicroVersaTrip or equivalent LSIG‑enabled units) and interchangeable rating plugs to tailor protection settings for specific load requirements and coordination studies. The WPH‑16’s design emphasizes safety, flexibility, and performance, making it a widely used solution in medium voltage distribution panels where dependable protection and interrupting capability are critical
