Why Choose the Lovato P1MB1PB10 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB1PB10 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Lovato P1MB modular protection range, it provides reliable circuit protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
This circuit breaker features a 10 A rated current, a Type B tripping characteristic and a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The Type B response is suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents, including lighting, socket outlets, control equipment and other general electrical loads.
With its single-pole configuration and space-saving one-module DIN rail design, the P1MB1PB10 can be installed easily in distribution boards, consumer units and industrial control panels. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism provides automatic disconnection during both sustained overloads and sudden fault currents.
Key Advantages
- Reliable overload and short-circuit protection for electrical circuits.
- 10 A rated current for lighting, control and general-purpose loads.
- Type B tripping curve for circuits with low to moderate inrush currents.
- High 10 kA breaking capacity for enhanced fault protection.
- Compact one-module width saves space inside distribution boards.
- DIN rail mounting enables quick and straightforward panel installation.

- Screw terminal connections for secure conductor termination.
Reliable Protection for Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers protect cables, equipment and connected loads by automatically disconnecting the electrical supply when an unsafe current is detected. The Lovato P1MB1PB10 combines thermal protection for sustained overload conditions with magnetic protection for rapid operation during short-circuit faults.
The Type B tripping curve is designed to operate rapidly when current reaches approximately three to five times the rated value. This makes the breaker particularly suitable for circuits supplying resistive loads, lighting systems and electrical equipment with limited starting currents.
Typical Applications
- Residential and commercial distribution boards.
- Lighting and socket outlet circuits.
- Industrial control panels and switchboards.
- Electrical control and automation equipment.
- Heating and resistive load circuits.
- Machinery auxiliary power supplies.
- Building services and electrical installations.
