Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1NC10 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1NC10 is a reliable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the Lovato Electric P1MB series, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic circuit protection for distribution boards, industrial control panels and machinery installations.
Featuring a 10 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1NC10 is suitable for circuits containing equipment with moderate starting currents. Its performance makes it a practical choice for control systems, lighting circuits, power supplies and other commercial or industrial electrical loads.
The breaker uses a 1P+N configuration, providing overcurrent protection on the phase conductor whilst simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. Its two DIN module construction provides clear phase and neutral isolation and enables straightforward installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Circuits
The Lovato P1MB1NC10 combines thermal and magnetic tripping technologies to protect electrical wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, whilst the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection when a high-current short circuit occurs.
Its Type C characteristic allows the breaker to tolerate moderate temporary inrush currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes it suitable for circuits containing small motors, transformers, power supplies, lighting equipment and other loads that may draw increased current during start-up.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Lighting and auxiliary circuits.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Small motors and inductive loads.
- Heating, ventilation and building-services equipment.
- Machine control and signalling circuits.
