Why Choose the Lovato P1MBUH2PD13 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MBUH2PD13 is a compact 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection in industrial control and electrical distribution applications. Part of the Lovato P1MB range, it combines a 13 A rated current, Type D tripping characteristic and compliance with IEC and UL 489.
Its D-curve characteristic is suitable for compatible circuits where relatively high starting or inrush currents can occur during normal operation. The P1MBUH2PD13 provides a 10 kA short-circuit rating under both IEC and UL specifications, supporting dependable protection for industrial machinery, automation equipment and electrical control-panel circuits.
The P1MBUH2PD13 has a UL rated operational voltage of 480Y/277 V AC, alongside IEC operational ratings of 230/400 V AC and a DC operational rating of 125 V DC. Its compact 2-module construction, standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting, IP20 frontal protection and conductor capacity from 1–35 mm² support straightforward integration into professional electrical assemblies.

Reliable D-Curve Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
Miniature circuit breakers automatically interrupt electrical circuits when overload or short-circuit conditions occur, helping protect conductors and connected equipment against excessive current. A D-curve breaker provides a higher instantaneous magnetic trip threshold than B- or C-curve devices, making this characteristic suitable for selected loads that can produce relatively high starting or energisation currents.
The Lovato P1MBUH2PD13 combines a 13 A rating, D-curve characteristic, 480Y/277 V AC UL rating and 10 kA short-circuit rating in a compact two-module device. Its UL 489 compliance makes it particularly suitable for industrial machinery and electrical panels requiring recognised branch-circuit protection for North American installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- UL 489 branch-circuit protection applications.
- 480Y/277 V AC electrical systems.
