Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1MB16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1MB16 is a compact 1P+N miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Lovato Electric, it combines a protected phase pole and switched neutral within a single DIN module, making it an excellent choice for space-saving electrical installations.
Rated at 16 A with a type B tripping characteristic and a 6 kA breaking capacity, the P1MB1MB16 is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets, control circuits and other installations with relatively low inrush currents. Its compact design helps maximise available panel space while maintaining reliable protection.
Designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, the breaker complies with both IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, making it suitable for residential, commercial and industrial distribution boards and control panels.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits whenever overload or short-circuit conditions occur, helping protect wiring, equipment and connected loads from damage. The B characteristic provides rapid operation on relatively low fault currents, making it well suited to lighting and general-purpose electrical circuits.
The compact single-module design of the Lovato P1MB1MB16 allows both the phase and neutral conductors to be switched within minimal panel space, making it particularly attractive for OEM machinery, commercial installations and modern distribution boards.
Typical Applications
- Lighting circuits.
- Socket outlet circuits.
- Industrial control panels.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- OEM machinery.
- Building services installations.
