Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1NC32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1NC32 is a 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 protection for commercial distribution boards, industrial control panels and machinery installations.
Featuring a 32 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1NC32 is suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. It offers dependable protection for lighting, power distribution, heating equipment, small motors and other inductive electrical loads.
The breaker has a 1P+N configuration, providing overcurrent protection on the phase conductor whilst simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. Its two DIN module design supports effective circuit isolation and straightforward installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Distribution Systems
The Lovato P1MB1NC32 combines thermal and magnetic tripping elements to protect electrical wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, whilst the magnetic mechanism provides rapid disconnection when a high-current short circuit occurs.
Its Type C characteristic allows moderate temporary inrush currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes the breaker suitable for circuits containing lighting equipment, transformers, small motors, heating systems, power supplies and other loads that may draw increased current during start-up.
Typical Applications
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels.
- Lighting and power circuits.
- Small electric motors and inductive loads.
- Heating and ventilation equipment.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Machinery and automation systems.
- Single-phase equipment requiring phase and neutral switching.
