Lovato P2MB3PD080 three-pole miniature circuit breaker with 80 A rated current, D tripping curve, 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and 230/400 V AC operational voltage.
£175.20
The Lovato P2MB3PD080 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect three-phase 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 power-distribution systems.
Featuring an 80 A rated current, D tripping curve and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P2MB3PD080 is particularly suitable for equipment with high starting or magnetising currents. Its D characteristic helps prevent nuisance tripping when supplying motors, transformers, solenoids and other loads that generate substantial temporary inrush currents.
The circuit breaker has a 3P configuration, occupies 4.5 DIN modules and is designed for 230/400 V AC systems. Its mechanically linked poles disconnect all three protected phases simultaneously, providing reliable isolation and circuit protection in demanding commercial and industrial installations.
The Lovato P2MB3PD080 continuously monitors the current flowing through all three protected phases. Its thermal release responds to prolonged overload conditions, while the magnetic release disconnects the supply rapidly when a severe short-circuit fault occurs.
The D tripping characteristic is intended for equipment that can produce substantially higher starting currents than conventional resistive loads. This makes the breaker particularly suitable for large motors, transformers, solenoids and industrial machinery where a B or C curve device could trip unnecessarily during normal start-up.

The P2MB3PD080 protects three-phase electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, particularly where equipment produces high temporary starting currents.
The Lovato P2MB3PD080 has a rated current of 80 A.
A D curve circuit breaker tolerates higher temporary inrush currents than B or C curve breakers, making it suitable for motors, transformers and other inductive equipment.
The P2MB3PD080 has a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA.
Yes. Its three-pole configuration is designed to switch and protect all three phases of a suitable three-phase electrical circuit.
The circuit breaker clips onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail and occupies 4.5 DIN modules inside a suitable electrical enclosure.
Lovato Electric miniature circuit breakers are trusted by electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial engineers to provide reliable protection for machinery, motor circuits and three-phase power-distribution systems.
