Why Choose the Lovato P1MB2PB16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P1MB2PB16 is a compact and dependable two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the established Lovato P1MB series, it provides linked protection and isolation across two poles for industrial control panels, commercial distribution boards, machinery and OEM electrical systems.

Featuring a Type B tripping characteristic, the P1MB2PB16 is intended for circuits with relatively low starting currents. It is well suited to lighting systems, electric heating, resistive loads, control equipment and auxiliary circuits where responsive thermal-magnetic protection is required.

With a rated current of 16 A, a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a compact two-module construction, the P1MB2PB16 delivers reliable circuit protection while helping conserve valuable enclosure space. Its standard DIN rail format supports straightforward installation alongside other modular protection and control devices.

Key Advantages

  • Dependable two-pole miniature circuit breaker for overload and short-circuit protection.
  • 16 A rated current for lighting, heating, control and distribution circuits.
  • Type B tripping characteristic suitable for resistive and low-inrush loads.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for effective fault interruption.
  • Linked switching and isolation across two circuit poles.
  • Compact two-module construction helps conserve valuable panel space.

Key Features

  • Lovato P1MB miniature circuit breaker series.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • Two-pole (2P) configuration.
  • Type B tripping characteristic.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • 230/400 V AC rated operational voltage.
  • Suitable for operation at up to 125 V DC.
  • Compact two DIN module format.
  • Standard DIN rail mounting for modular electrical enclosures.

Reliable Two-Pole Circuit Protection

Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current is caused by an overload or short circuit. This helps protect cables, control equipment and connected devices from damage while reducing electrical hazards and unplanned system downtime.

The Type B characteristic of the Lovato P1MB2PB16 provides responsive magnetic tripping for circuits with low inrush currents. Its linked two-pole configuration disconnects both circuit poles together, providing effective protection and isolation for suitable single-phase and two-pole electrical applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
  • Lighting and resistive electrical loads.
  • Electric heating and temperature-control equipment.
  • Single-phase electrical distribution circuits.
  • Machine-building and OEM electrical systems.
  • Commercial distribution boards and control panels.
