Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PB08 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PB08 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection in industrial control and electrical distribution applications. As part of the Lovato P1MB series, it combines a compact modular format with a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and compliance with IEC requirements and UL 1077 supplementary protection requirements.
Rated at 8 A with a Type B tripping characteristic, the P1MB1PB08 is suited to circuits where relatively low magnetic trip thresholds are appropriate. Its single-pole configuration occupies just 1 DIN module, helping panel builders maximise available space while maintaining convenient circuit isolation and protection.
The P1MB1PB08 has a rated operational voltage of 230 V AC, supports 50/60 Hz systems and can also be used on DC circuits within the manufacturer's specified ratings. Standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting, IP20 frontal protection and compatibility with conductors from 1–35 mm² make it a practical choice for industrial machinery and control-panel applications.

Reliable Overcurrent Protection for Industrial Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers protect electrical circuits by automatically interrupting current when an overload or short circuit occurs. Unlike replaceable fuses, an MCB can normally be reset after the fault has been identified and corrected, making it a convenient protective device for machinery, automation equipment and electrical control panels.
The Lovato P1MB1PB08 combines an 8 A rating, B-curve response and 10 kA breaking capacity in a compact single-module format. Its DIN rail mounting and support for additional accessories make it well suited to professional modular protection assemblies and industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machine control and automation circuits.
- Low-voltage distribution assemblies.
- Control and auxiliary power circuits.
- OEM machinery and equipment.
- UL 1077 supplementary protection applications.
