Why Choose the Lovato P1MB3PB50 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB3PB50 is a robust three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the dependable Lovato P1MB modular circuit protection range, it is suitable for industrial control panels, commercial distribution boards, building services and OEM machinery requiring reliable three-phase protection.
This miniature circuit breaker combines a 50 A rated current, B tripping characteristic and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism responds to sustained overloads and high fault currents, helping protect cables, connected equipment and electrical installations.
Designed for use on 230/400 V AC systems, the P1MB3PB50 occupies three DIN modules and mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact format, solid construction and compliance with recognised international standards make it a practical choice for demanding professional installations.

Reliable Protection for Three-Phase Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current is detected. Thermal protection responds to prolonged overload conditions, while magnetic protection provides rapid disconnection during a short circuit. This combined action helps reduce the risk of damaged conductors, failed equipment and unsafe operating conditions.
The Lovato P1MB3PB50 disconnects and protects all three poles simultaneously. Its B curve characteristic is suited to circuits with relatively low starting currents, including resistive heating, distribution circuits, control equipment and general-purpose electrical loads.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and switchboards.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Three-phase distribution circuits.
- Resistive heating installations.
- Building services and infrastructure.
- Automation and process control systems.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
- General-purpose electrical protection circuits.
