Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1NC02 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1NC02 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato Electric P1MB series, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for control panels, distribution boards and industrial automation systems.
Featuring a 2 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1NC02 is particularly suitable for low-current circuits containing equipment with moderate starting currents. It helps protect sensitive wiring, control components and connected electrical equipment from potentially damaging overcurrent conditions.
The breaker has a 1P+N configuration, providing overcurrent protection on the phase conductor while simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. Its two-module format enables effective circuit isolation, while standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting supports straightforward installation in modular electrical enclosures.

Reliable Protection for Control and Automation Circuits
The Lovato P1MB1NC02 uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to disconnect the electrical supply when an overload or short circuit occurs. The thermal element responds to sustained excess current, while the magnetic element provides rapid operation during high-current fault conditions.
Its low 2 A current rating makes it suitable for protecting control wiring, instrumentation, relays, signalling equipment and other sensitive low-current loads. The Type C characteristic allows moderate temporary inrush currents while maintaining dependable protection against electrical faults.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- PLC and automation circuits.
- Instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Relays, timers and signalling circuits.
- Building-management systems.
- Machinery control and auxiliary circuits.
- Low-current commercial distribution circuits.
