Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1MC06 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1MC06 is a compact 1P+N miniature circuit breaker designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by Lovato Electric, it combines one protected phase pole with a switched neutral in a space-saving single DIN module, making it ideal for densely populated distribution boards, control panels and machinery.
Rated at 6 A, the P1MB1MC06 features a type C tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA. The C curve accommodates moderate temporary inrush currents, making the circuit breaker suitable for control transformers, contactor coils, solenoids, small motors and other inductive electrical loads.
The breaker operates at a rated voltage of 230 V AC and mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its robust electrical endurance, broad operating temperature range and compliance with recognised IEC and EN standards make the P1MB1MC06 a dependable choice for industrial automation, commercial distribution and OEM machine-building applications.

Reliable Protection for Control and Inductive Loads
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current is caused by an overload or short circuit. This helps prevent conductors from overheating and protects terminals, control components and connected equipment from electrical damage.
The type C characteristic of the Lovato P1MB1MC06 allows the breaker to tolerate moderate temporary starting currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes it particularly useful for industrial control circuits containing transformers, contactor coils, solenoids and small motors.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- Contactor and relay coil protection.
- Control transformers.
- Solenoids and electromagnetic devices.
- Small motors and inductive loads.
- Machine control panels.
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
