Why Choose the Lovato P2MB1PC080 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P2MB1PC080 is a robust single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the Lovato Electric P2 MB modular protection range, it provides dependable circuit interruption for industrial machinery, control panels and power-distribution systems.
Featuring an 80 A rated current, C tripping curve and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P2MB1PC080 is suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush currents. The C characteristic helps prevent unnecessary tripping during normal equipment start-up while maintaining reliable protection during genuine fault conditions.
The breaker has a 1P configuration, occupies 1.5 DIN modules and supports operational voltages of 230/400 V AC or up to 80 V DC. Its wide operating-temperature range, high-capacity terminals and 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it a practical choice for demanding commercial and industrial installations.

Reliable High-Current Circuit Protection
The Lovato P2MB1PC080 monitors the current flowing through the protected conductor and automatically disconnects the supply when an overload or short circuit occurs. Its thermal release responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic release provides rapid interruption during severe short-circuit faults.
The C curve characteristic is suitable for circuits supplying equipment that produces moderate inrush currents, including motors, transformers, lighting systems and industrial control equipment. Its 10 kA breaking capacity allows the device to interrupt substantial fault currents safely when correctly selected and installed.
