Why Choose the Lovato P5ME4PS0400 Moulded Case Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P5ME4PS0400 is a high-performance 4-pole moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for protection and isolation of high-current low-voltage electrical distribution systems. As part of the Lovato P5 series, this IEC circuit breaker combines a 400 A rated current with electronic protection for dependable operation in demanding industrial installations.

Its four-pole configuration enables simultaneous switching and protection of three phase conductors and the neutral, making the P5ME4PS0400 particularly suitable for three-phase, four-wire distribution networks. The electronic trip system provides overload and short-circuit protection while allowing the breaker to be coordinated with the requirements of the protected installation.

With an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity Icu of 50 kA at 380–415 V AC, the P5ME4PS0400 is engineered for industrial switchboards, distribution panels and machinery power systems where substantial prospective fault currents may occur. Its moulded-case construction and compatibility with the Lovato P5 accessory system provide a flexible platform for professional panel building.

  • Electronic protection provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Suitable for both circuit protection and manual electrical isolation.
  • Part of the versatile Lovato P5 MCCB family for industrial switchboard integration.

Key Features

  • Lovato P5 moulded case circuit breaker series.
  • 400 A rated current.
  • 4-pole construction for three-phase plus neutral circuits.
  • Electronic trip technology for circuit protection.
  • 50 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity at 380–415 V AC.
  • Protection against overload and short-circuit faults.
  • Robust moulded-case construction for industrial electrical systems.
  • Manual switching and isolation capability.
  • Designed for integration into low-voltage switchboards and distribution panels.

Reliable Four-Pole Protection for Industrial Power Distribution

Moulded case circuit breakers such as the Lovato P5ME4PS0400 protect electrical installations by interrupting current when overload or short-circuit conditions exceed acceptable limits. The four-pole design enables all three phases and the neutral conductor to be switched together, making it suitable for distribution systems where neutral isolation is required.

The P5ME4PS0400 combines a 400 A current rating with a 50 kA Icu breaking capacity at 380–415 V AC, providing robust protection for demanding industrial installations. Electronic trip technology and the P5 accessory platform also make the breaker suitable for professionally engineered switchboards and machinery distribution systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial main and sub-distribution switchboards.
  • Three-phase, four-wire feeder protection.
  • Manufacturing and production facilities.
  • Industrial machinery power distribution.
  • Motor control centres and automation systems.
  • Commercial and industrial electrical distribution panels.
  • OEM switchgear and panel-building applications.
