Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1MC32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1MC32 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato Electric P1MB series, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic circuit protection within a space-saving modular design.
Featuring a 32 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1MC32 is suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. Its Type C response helps accommodate temporary inrush currents from inductive loads whilst maintaining effective fault protection.
The 1P+N configuration provides overcurrent protection on the phase conductor whilst simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. Occupying only one DIN module, the P1MB1MC32 helps conserve valuable space within consumer units, distribution boards and industrial control panels.

Reliable Protection for Low-Voltage Electrical Circuits
The Lovato P1MB1MC32 combines thermal and magnetic tripping technologies to protect electrical wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element responds to prolonged overload conditions, whilst the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection when a short-circuit fault occurs.
Its Type C characteristic makes the circuit breaker suitable for circuits containing equipment with moderate inrush currents, including small motors, transformers, power supplies and other inductive loads. The compact 1P+N format also provides phase and neutral switching without requiring the space of a conventional two-module device.
Typical Applications
- Residential consumer units and distribution boards.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Industrial control panels and machinery.
- Socket outlet and general-purpose circuits.
- Small motors and inductive electrical loads.
- Heating and ventilation equipment.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Single-phase equipment requiring phase and neutral isolation.
