Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PC40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PC40 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 commercial distribution systems, industrial control panels, machinery and automation equipment.
This circuit breaker features a 40 A rated current, a Type C tripping characteristic and a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The Type C response accommodates moderate inrush currents, making the P1MB1PC40 suitable for circuits supplying motors, transformers, contactors, solenoids and other inductive electrical loads.
With its single-pole configuration and compact one-module DIN rail design, the P1MB1PC40 can be installed efficiently inside distribution boards, switchgear assemblies and machine control panels. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism provides automatic disconnection during sustained overload conditions and sudden short-circuit faults.
