Why Choose the Lovato P1MB2PC03 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB2PC03 is a compact two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in industrial electrical panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of the Lovato P1 MB series, this breaker combines a 3 A rated current with a Type C tripping characteristic for circuits with moderate inrush currents.
The P1MB2PC03 provides a 10 kA IEC short-circuit rating and operates at rated voltages up to 230/400 V AC or 125 V DC. Its 440 V rated insulation voltage and 4 kV impulse withstand voltage support reliable performance in demanding low-voltage installations.
Occupying only two DIN modules, the P1MB2PC03 mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. It accepts IEC conductors from 1 to 35 mm² and is designed for a mechanical life of 20,000 operations, making it a practical circuit protection solution for professional control-panel and machine-building applications.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Industrial Systems
Miniature circuit breakers protect electrical wiring and equipment by automatically interrupting the circuit when excessive current or a short circuit occurs. The Lovato P1MB2PC03 combines thermal and magnetic protection with a Type C characteristic, making it suitable for circuits where normal operation can produce moderate transient inrush currents.
Its 10 kA IEC short-circuit capability, wide operating temperature range and robust mechanical endurance make the P1MB2PC03 well suited to industrial control panels and machine installations. Standard DIN rail mounting also simplifies installation alongside other modular protection and control devices.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machine and automation control circuits.
- Low-current equipment protection.
- Power supplies and auxiliary circuits.
- Industrial distribution boards.
- DIN rail-mounted electrical assemblies.
