Why Choose the Lovato P5ME3PS0100 Moulded Case Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P5ME3PS0100 is a high-performance 3-pole moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for protection and isolation of three-phase low-voltage electrical distribution systems. As part of the Lovato P5 series, this IEC-standard breaker has a rated current of 100 A and incorporates an electronic trip unit with adjustable overload and short-circuit protection.
The electronic overload trip can be adjusted from 40–100 A, while the short-circuit trip adjustment extends from 60–1000 A. This wide adjustment capability allows the breaker protection characteristics to be matched more closely to the requirements of the protected circuit than a fixed-trip device.
With an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity Icu of 50 kA at 380–415 V AC, a rated operational voltage up to 690 V AC and a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V, the P5ME3PS0100 is engineered for demanding industrial switchboards, distribution panels and machinery power systems.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Power Distribution
Moulded case circuit breakers such as the Lovato P5ME3PS0100 protect electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions while providing a means of circuit isolation. Its electronic trip unit allows overload and short-circuit thresholds to be adjusted to suit the protected installation, supporting more precise protection coordination.
The P5ME3PS0100 combines high breaking capacity with robust electrical insulation and a compact moulded-case format. Its 50 kA Icu and Ics ratings at 380–415 V AC make it particularly suitable for industrial installations where substantial prospective fault currents can occur.
Typical Applications
- Industrial main and sub-distribution panels.
- Three-phase feeder circuit protection.
- Manufacturing and production facilities.
- Industrial machinery power distribution.
- Motor control centres and automation panels.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- OEM electrical panels and machinery systems.
