Why Choose the Lovato P2MB4PC080 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P2MB4PC080 is a robust four-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect industrial and commercial electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the dependable Lovato P2MB series, it combines high-current protection, positive contact indication and convenient DIN rail installation for modern distribution boards and control panels.
This circuit breaker features a C characteristic tripping curve, making it suitable for circuits containing moderate inrush currents such as lighting systems, control equipment, small motors and general industrial loads. Its four-pole configuration allows simultaneous isolation and protection of three-phase circuits with a neutral conductor.
With a rated current of 80 A, a 230/400 V AC operational voltage and a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P2MB4PC080 provides reliable protection for demanding electrical installations. Its modular construction occupies six DIN modules and enables straightforward integration into suitable electrical enclosures.
Key Advantages
Reliable four-pole miniature circuit breaker for industrial and commercial installations.
80 A rated current for higher-current electrical circuits.
C curve tripping characteristic suitable for moderate inrush currents.
10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for dependable fault protection.
Simultaneous switching and protection of three phases and neutral.
Convenient mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
Key Features
Lovato P2MB miniature circuit breaker series.
80 A rated current.

Reliable Four-Pole Circuit Protection
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect an electrical supply when excessive current is detected. This protects conductors, connected equipment and electrical installations from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.
The four-pole design of the Lovato P2MB4PC080 makes it particularly useful in three-phase systems that require the neutral conductor to be switched at the same time as the phase conductors. Its C curve response provides a practical balance between dependable protection and tolerance of normal starting currents.
Typical Applications
Three-phase distribution boards with neutral conductors.
Industrial control panels and switchboards.
Commercial electrical distribution systems.
Lighting and building-services circuits.
Small motor and machinery circuits.
OEM automation and electrical equipment.
