Lovato P2MB1PC100 single-pole miniature circuit breaker with 100 A rated current, C tripping curve, 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and 230/400 V AC operational voltage.
£95.01
The Lovato P2MB1PC100 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 thermal-magnetic protection for industrial machinery, control panels and higher-current power-distribution applications.
Featuring a 100 A rated current, C tripping curve and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P2MB1PC100 is suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. Its C characteristic helps tolerate normal inrush conditions from motors, transformers and other inductive loads while maintaining effective fault protection.
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. High-capacity screw terminals, a wide operating-temperature range and standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial installations.
The Lovato P2MB1PC100 continuously monitors current flowing through the protected conductor and disconnects the supply when an overload or short circuit occurs. Its thermal release responds to sustained overcurrent conditions, while the magnetic release provides rapid interruption during severe short-circuit faults.
The C curve characteristic makes this breaker suitable for circuits feeding equipment with moderate inrush currents, including motors, transformers, lighting systems and industrial control equipment. Its 10 kA breaking capacity allows substantial prospective fault currents to be interrupted safely when the breaker is correctly selected and installed.
