Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1NC06 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1NC06 is a high-performance miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in low-voltage electrical installations. As part of the trusted Lovato Electric P1MB series, it delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection for industrial control panels, commercial switchboards and automation systems.
With a 6 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1NC06 is well suited to protecting control circuits, lighting systems and other installations where moderate inrush currents are expected.
Its 1P+N configuration provides overcurrent protection on the phase conductor whilst simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. The compact two DIN module design enables straightforward installation onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, making it an ideal solution for modern modular electrical installations.
