Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PB16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PB16 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato P1MB modular circuit protection range, it provides reliable protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
This circuit breaker features a 16 A rated current, a Type B tripping characteristic and a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The Type B response is particularly suitable for circuits with relatively low starting currents, including lighting systems, socket outlets, heating equipment and control circuits.
With its single-pole configuration and space-saving one-module DIN rail design, the P1MB1PB16 is easy to install in distribution boards, consumer units and industrial control panels. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism provides dependable automatic disconnection during sustained overloads and sudden short-circuit faults.
