Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NB32A030 32 A 1P+N RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NB32A030 is a 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) that combines residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection in a single modular device. Part of the Lovato P1RE range, it has a rated current of 32 A and an IEC short-circuit rating of 10 kA.
This model combines a B tripping curve with a type A residual-current characteristic and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA. The type A characteristic is designed to respond to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, providing appropriate residual-current detection for suitably specified single-phase electrical circuits.
Rated for 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, the P1RE1NB32A030 occupies two DIN modules and mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact combined-protection design makes it suitable for distribution boards and control panels where individual circuit protection and efficient use of enclosure space are required.

Combined Residual-Current and Overcurrent Protection
An RCBO combines the protective functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual-current device within one unit. The P1RE1NB32A030 therefore provides protection against overloads and short circuits while simultaneously monitoring the circuit for residual current to earth, allowing combined protection to be provided by a single two-module device.
The 30 mA type A residual-current characteristic responds to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, while the B curve defines the device's overcurrent tripping behaviour. With its 32 A nominal current, 10 kA short-circuit rating and DIN-rail construction, the P1RE1NB32A030 provides a compact protection solution for suitably designed 230 V AC circuits.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Industrial control panels.
- Building-services distribution systems.
- Machinery and equipment circuits.
- Circuits requiring individual 30 mA residual-current protection.
- Applications requiring combined 32 A overload, short-circuit and residual-current protection.
