Why Choose the Lovato P1MBUH2PD30 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MBUH2PD30 is a compact two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection in industrial electrical distribution and control systems. Part of the Lovato P1 MBUH range, it combines a 30 A rated current with Curve D tripping characteristics and UL489 compliance for dependable branch circuit protection.
Designed for 480Y/277 V AC systems, the P1MBUH2PD30 provides a 10 kA short-circuit rating for robust protection against electrical faults. Its two-pole configuration enables coordinated protection and disconnection across both poles, while the compact DIN rail format helps maximise available space within industrial control panels and machinery.
The Curve D tripping characteristic provides increased tolerance of high transient starting currents compared with more sensitive trip curves. This makes the P1MBUH2PD30 particularly suitable for compatible inductive and high-inrush loads such as transformers, power supplies, solenoids and industrial equipment where substantial starting currents can occur during normal operation.

Curve D Protection for High-Inrush Industrial Loads
The Lovato P1MBUH2PD30 uses a thermal-magnetic operating mechanism to protect electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. The thermal element responds to sustained excessive current, while the magnetic mechanism provides rapid interruption during severe fault conditions, helping protect wiring and connected equipment.
Its Curve D characteristic is particularly useful where normal equipment operation can produce substantial transient starting currents. Combined with its 30 A current rating, two-pole configuration, 480Y/277 V AC system rating and 10 kA short-circuit capability, the P1MBUH2PD30 provides a practical protection solution for demanding industrial branch circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control and distribution panels.
- UL489 branch circuit protection.
- 480Y/277 V AC industrial electrical systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Compatible transformers, power supplies and inductive loads with high starting currents.
