Why Choose the Lovato P1MBUH1PC16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MBUH1PC16 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 Lovato Electric modular circuit protection range, it provides reliable switching and protection for industrial control panels, machinery and electrical distribution systems.
This circuit breaker combines a 16 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The Type C response is suited to circuits with moderate inrush currents, including control equipment, transformers, solenoids and small motors.
The P1MBUH1PC16 occupies only one DIN module, allowing efficient use of space inside distribution boards and control cabinets. Its conformity with UL 489 and IEC/EN 60947-2 makes it suitable for a broad range of industrial and international electrical installations.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current is detected. This helps protect cables, control equipment and connected loads from damage caused by sustained overload conditions or short circuits.
The Type C operating characteristic of the Lovato P1MBUH1PC16 permits a controlled level of temporary inrush current while still providing dependable fault protection. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial circuits containing contactors, transformers, power supplies and small inductive loads.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machinery and automation systems.
- Power supply and transformer circuits.
- Contactors, solenoids and control equipment.
- Small motor and inductive load protection.
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
