Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PD04 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PD04 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the dependable Lovato P1MB series, it is suitable for industrial control panels, commercial distribution systems, machine-building applications and OEM electrical equipment.
This miniature circuit breaker features a Type D tripping characteristic, making it particularly suitable for equipment that produces high starting or inrush currents. Typical loads include transformers, solenoids, motors, power supplies and other inductive devices that may cause less tolerant circuit breakers to trip during normal start-up.
With a rated current of 4 A, a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a compact one-module design, the P1MB1PD04 provides dependable protection while helping conserve valuable space inside an electrical enclosure. Its standard DIN rail format enables straightforward installation in control panels and distribution boards.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Electrical Loads
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect an electrical circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs. This helps protect cables, components and connected equipment from excessive current, reducing the risk of electrical damage, system faults and unplanned downtime.
The Type D characteristic of the Lovato P1MB1PD04 permits a higher temporary inrush current before magnetic tripping occurs. This makes it particularly well suited to transformers, motors, solenoids and other inductive devices that draw a brief surge of current when energised.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- Transformers and power supplies.
- Solenoids, contactor coils and inductive loads.
- Small motors with high starting currents.
- Machine-building and OEM equipment.
- Electrical control panels and distribution boards.
