Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1NC50 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1NC50 is a robust miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato Electric P1MB series, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial distribution boards, industrial control panels and machinery installations.
Featuring a 50 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1NC50 is suitable for higher-current circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. Its performance makes it a practical choice for power distribution, heating equipment, HVAC systems and other commercial or industrial electrical loads.
The breaker has a 1P+N configuration, providing overcurrent protection on the phase conductor whilst simultaneously switching the neutral conductor. Its two DIN module construction supports effective circuit isolation and straightforward installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Reliable Protection for Higher-Current Circuits
The Lovato P1MB1NC50 combines thermal and magnetic tripping technologies to protect electrical wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, whilst the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection when a high-current short circuit occurs.
Its Type C characteristic allows the circuit breaker to accommodate moderate temporary inrush currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes it suitable for circuits containing heating equipment, HVAC systems, transformers, power supplies and other loads that may draw increased current during start-up.
Typical Applications
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels.
- Power distribution circuits.
- Heating and ventilation equipment.
- HVAC systems.
- Transformers and power supplies.
- Machinery and automation systems.
- Single-phase equipment requiring phase and neutral switching.
