Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PB06 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P1MB1PB06 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 industrial control panels, commercial distribution boards and OEM electrical equipment.

With a 6 A rated current, Type B tripping characteristic and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1PB06 is ideal for protecting low-current circuits with minimal inrush current. It offers dependable protection for instrumentation, electronic controls, signalling systems and resistive electrical loads.

Its single-pole configuration occupies just one DIN module, allowing efficient use of panel space. Standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting and screw-terminal connections make installation fast and straightforward in both new and existing electrical installations.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage circuits.
  • 6 A rated current suitable for control, instrumentation and auxiliary circuits.
  • Type B tripping characteristic for resistive and low-inrush electrical loads.
  • 10 kA breaking capacity provides dependable fault interruption.
  • Compact single-pole, one DIN module construction.
  • Thermal-magnetic operating mechanism.
  • Suitable for compatible AC and DC applications.
  • Quick installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Key Features

  • Lovato Electric P1MB series.
  • 6 A rated current.
  • Type B tripping characteristic.
  • Single-pole configuration.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • 230 V AC rated operational voltage.
  • 80 V DC rated operational voltage.
  • 440 V insulation voltage (Ui).
  • 4 kV impulse withstand voltage (Uimp).
  • One-module DIN rail construction.

Reliable Protection for Sensitive Electrical Circuits

The Lovato P1MB1PB06 incorporates both thermal and magnetic tripping elements to safeguard wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element protects against prolonged overload conditions, whilst the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection during short-circuit faults, helping minimise equipment damage and downtime.

Its Type B operating characteristic is ideal for resistive loads and circuits with low inrush current, making it well suited to instrumentation, PLCs, electronic controls and auxiliary electrical systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • PLC input and output circuits.
  • Instrumentation systems.
  • Electronic control equipment.
  • Signalling and alarm systems.
  • Building management systems.
  • Auxiliary power circuits.
  • Commercial electrical installations.
