Why Choose the Lovato P2MB2PC080 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The Lovato P2MB2PC080 is a robust two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the Lovato Electric P2 MB modular protection range, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for industrial machinery, control panels and higher-current power-distribution systems.

Featuring an 80 A rated current, C tripping curve and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P2MB2PC080 is suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush currents. The C characteristic accommodates normal starting currents from motors, transformers and other inductive loads while maintaining reliable protection during genuine fault conditions.

The breaker has a 2P configuration, occupies 3 DIN modules and supports operational voltages of 230/400 V AC or up to 125 V DC. Its high-capacity screw terminals, wide operating-temperature range and standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Key Advantages

  • Provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
  • 80 A rated current for higher-capacity electrical circuits.
  • Two-pole switching disconnects both protected conductors simultaneously.
  • C tripping curve accommodates moderate equipment starting currents.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for reliable fault interruption.
  • Suitable for both AC and DC circuit protection.

Key Features

  • Lovato Electric P2 MB miniature circuit breaker.
  • Two-pole configuration.
  • 80 A rated current.
  • C curve thermal-magnetic tripping characteristic.
  • 10 kA IEC short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • 230/400 V AC rated operational voltage.
  • Suitable for operation at up to 125 V DC.
  • 4 kV rated impulse withstand voltage.
  • Compact 3-module construction.
  • Standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting.

Reliable Two-Pole Circuit Protection

The Lovato P2MB2PC080 monitors the current flowing through both protected conductors and automatically disconnects the circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs. Its thermal release responds to sustained overcurrent conditions, while the magnetic release provides rapid interruption during severe short-circuit faults.

The C curve characteristic makes this circuit breaker suitable for equipment with moderate inrush currents, including motors, transformers, lighting circuits and industrial control systems. Its linked two-pole mechanism ensures both poles are disconnected together, providing dependable isolation for single-phase and suitable DC circuits.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels and switchboards.
  • Machinery and OEM electrical systems.
  • Commercial power-distribution boards.
  • Single-phase line and neutral protection.
  • Motor and transformer supply circuits.
  • AC and low-voltage DC circuit protection.
