Why Choose the Lovato P1MB4PD06 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB4PD06 is a dependable 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in industrial, commercial and OEM installations. As part of the established Lovato P1MB modular protection range, it combines reliable thermal-magnetic protection with a compact format for straightforward installation in control panels and distribution boards.
Featuring a 6 A rated current, a D tripping characteristic and a 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB4PD06 is particularly suitable for circuits containing equipment with high starting or inrush currents. This helps reduce unwanted tripping when supplying transformers, motors, solenoids and other inductive loads while maintaining effective fault protection.
The breaker has a 4-pole configuration and operates at 230/400 V AC, allowing simultaneous protection and isolation of multiple conductors. Its four-module design mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, making it suitable for new panel builds, machinery installations and electrical system upgrades.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers monitor current flowing through an electrical circuit and automatically disconnect the supply when an overload or short circuit occurs. This helps protect cables, connected equipment and control components from excessive current and potential damage.
The D tripping curve allows the P1MB4PD06 to tolerate higher instantaneous starting currents than breakers with B or C characteristics. This makes it a practical choice for appropriately designed circuits supplying transformers, motors and industrial equipment that may draw a brief surge of current when energised.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation panels.
- Transformer primary and auxiliary circuits.
- Motor circuits with high starting currents.
- Solenoids and inductive electrical loads.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- OEM machine building and control systems.
