Why Choose the Lovato P1MB4PB16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P1MB4PB16 is a robust four-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. As part of the proven Lovato Electric P1MB range, it delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection while maintaining a compact modular design suitable for industrial, commercial and OEM electrical systems.

Featuring a 16 A rated current, a Type B tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity, this MCB is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, distribution boards, control panels and other applications with relatively low inrush currents. Its four-pole configuration provides simultaneous isolation of all conductors for improved safety and maintenance.

The P1MB4PB16 mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, making installation straightforward within switchboards, distribution panels and automation cabinets. Manufactured to recognised international standards, it offers long-term reliability in demanding electrical environments.
