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.
