Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PC02 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PC02 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-current electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato P1MB modular circuit protection range, it provides reliable protection for industrial control panels, automation systems and electrical distribution equipment.
This circuit breaker features a 2 A rated current, a Type C tripping characteristic and a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The Type C response allows the breaker to accommodate moderate inrush currents, making it suitable for control transformers, relays, solenoids, small motors and other inductive electrical loads.
With its single-pole configuration and space-saving one-module DIN rail design, the P1MB1PC02 can be installed easily inside machine control panels, distribution boards and switchgear assemblies. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism provides automatic disconnection during sustained overload conditions and sudden short-circuit faults.
