Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PD16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PD16 is a compact and dependable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the proven Lovato P1MB series, it is suitable for industrial control panels, commercial distribution systems, machine-building applications and OEM electrical equipment.
This miniature circuit breaker features a Type D tripping characteristic, allowing it to tolerate the high temporary inrush currents produced by transformers, motors, solenoids, power supplies and other inductive loads. This helps prevent unnecessary tripping during normal equipment start-up while maintaining effective circuit protection.
With a rated current of 16 A, a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a compact one-module design, the P1MB1PD16 provides reliable protection without occupying excessive space inside the electrical enclosure. Its standard DIN rail format enables straightforward installation in distribution boards and control cabinets.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Electrical Loads
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when an overload or short circuit occurs. This protects cables, electrical components and connected equipment from excessive current while helping reduce the risk of damage, system faults and unplanned downtime.
The Type D characteristic of the Lovato P1MB1PD16 permits a higher temporary current before instantaneous magnetic tripping occurs. This makes the breaker particularly suitable for transformers, motors and other inductive loads that draw a substantial surge of current when energised.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Transformers and power supplies.
- Motors with high starting currents.
- Solenoids, contactor coils and inductive loads.
- Machine-building and OEM equipment.
- Commercial distribution boards.
