Why Choose the Lovato P1MB3PD02 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB3PD02 is a compact and dependable 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect three-phase electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the established Lovato P1MB modular circuit protection range, it provides reliable protection for industrial control panels, commercial distribution systems and OEM machinery.
This circuit breaker combines a 2 A rated current, a D tripping characteristic and a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The D curve characteristic accommodates high temporary inrush currents, making the P1MB3PD02 suitable for transformers, motors, solenoids, power supplies and other inductive electrical loads.
The P1MB3PD02 features a 3-pole, three-module configuration for simultaneous protection of three-phase conductors. Its DIN rail mounting format, thermal-magnetic operation and compliance with recognised international standards make it a practical choice for panel builders, machine manufacturers and electrical engineers.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current is detected. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while magnetic protection provides rapid disconnection during short circuits, helping protect cables, connected equipment and electrical assemblies.
The Lovato P1MB3PD02 uses a D curve characteristic that permits higher temporary starting currents than B or C curve breakers. This helps prevent nuisance tripping when energising transformers, motors, solenoids, industrial power supplies and other equipment with substantial inrush current.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and automation panels.
- Transformer protection circuits.
- Motor and inductive load circuits.
- Industrial power supplies.
- Solenoids and electromagnetic equipment.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
