Why Choose the Lovato P1MB2PC20 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P1MB2PC20 is a compact and highly reliable 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the professional Lovato P1MB circuit protection series, it is developed for industrial control panels, commercial distribution boards, machine building and OEM electrical equipment.

This miniature circuit breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that automatically disconnects the protected circuit when excessive current or a short circuit is detected. Its C tripping characteristic accommodates moderate starting currents, making it suitable for transformers, power supplies, solenoids, small motors and other inductive electrical loads.

With a rated current of 20 A, a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a compact 2-module DIN rail format, the P1MB2PC20 provides dependable protection while conserving valuable panel space. Its 230/400 V AC operational voltage, robust construction and recognised international conformity support reliable operation in demanding electrical installations.
