Why Choose the Lovato P1MBUH2PC16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MBUH2PC16 is a dependable two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the Lovato Electric P1MB modular circuit protection range, it provides reliable thermal magnetic protection for industrial machinery, automation equipment, control panels and low-voltage distribution systems.
This miniature 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 accommodates moderate temporary inrush currents, making the breaker suitable for control transformers, power supplies, contactors, solenoids, small motors and other inductive electrical loads.
The P1MBUH2PC16 features a two-pole configuration that disconnects both connected conductors simultaneously. It occupies two DIN modules and mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Compliance with UL 489 and IEC/EN 60947-2 supports its use in internationally specified machinery, panel-building and industrial electrical applications.
Key Advantages
Dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
16 A rated current for industrial control and distribution circuits.
Two-pole switching disconnects both conductors simultaneously.
Type C tripping characteristic accommodates moderate inrush currents.
High 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
Conforms to UL 489 and IEC/EN 60947-2.
Key Features
Lovato Electric P1MB series.
Two-pole (2P) configuration.
16 A nominal current rating.
Type C tripping curve.
10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
230/400 V AC IEC operational voltage.
480Y/277 V AC UL operational voltage.

Reliable Two-Pole Circuit Protection
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect an electrical circuit when excessive current is detected. This helps protect conductors, control components and connected equipment from damage caused by prolonged overload conditions or short-circuit faults.
The Type C operating characteristic of the Lovato P1MBUH2PC16 allows moderate temporary inrush currents while maintaining dependable fault protection. Its two-pole construction is particularly useful for installations that require simultaneous isolation of both connected conductors.
Typical Applications
Industrial automation and control panels.
Machine control and auxiliary circuits.
Control transformer protection.
Power supplies and instrumentation circuits.
Contactors, relays and solenoid circuits.
Small motors and inductive loads.
Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
