Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PB02 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PB02 is a compact and dependable 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, industrial and OEM electrical installations.
Featuring a 2 A rated current, Type B tripping characteristic and a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the P1MB1PB02 is ideal for protecting sensitive low-current circuits including instrumentation, PLC I/O, signalling systems and electronic control equipment.
Its single-pole configuration occupies just one DIN module, making it ideal where panel space is limited. Standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting and screw terminals allow quick installation in new or existing electrical assemblies.

Reliable Protection for Sensitive Electrical Circuits
The Lovato P1MB1PB02 uses a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism to safeguard wiring and connected equipment. The thermal element protects against prolonged overloads, whilst the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection during short-circuit faults, helping prevent equipment damage and unnecessary downtime.
Its Type B operating characteristic makes it particularly suitable for circuits supplying electronic equipment, instrumentation and resistive loads where rapid protection is required and high inrush currents are not expected.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- PLC input and output circuits.
- Instrumentation systems.
- Electronic control equipment.
- Signalling and alarm systems.
- Building management systems.
- Auxiliary power circuits.
- Commercial electrical installations.
