Why Choose the Lovato P1MB2PB32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB2PB32 is a reliable 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the established Lovato P1 MB series, it provides dependable circuit protection for commercial distribution systems, industrial control panels and OEM machinery.
This miniature circuit breaker combines a 32A rated current, B tripping characteristic and 10kA short-circuit rating. The B curve is suited to resistive and lightly inductive loads where low starting currents are expected, including heating, lighting and general electrical distribution circuits.
The P1MB2PB32 occupies two DIN modules and mounts onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, allowing straightforward installation inside distribution boards and electrical enclosures. Its robust thermal-magnetic protection, long operating life and wide temperature range make it suitable for demanding professional installations.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Electrical Systems
Miniature circuit breakers such as the Lovato P1MB2PB32 use thermal and magnetic trip mechanisms to disconnect a circuit when excessive current or a short circuit is detected. This helps protect cables, electrical equipment and connected loads from overheating and potentially damaging fault currents.
The compact two-pole construction enables simultaneous switching and protection of two conductors. Its B curve characteristic makes the breaker particularly suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents, while its 10kA breaking capability provides robust protection in professional distribution and control systems.
Typical Applications
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels and switchboards.
- Lighting and heating circuits.
- Resistive and lightly inductive electrical loads.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Building services and general electrical installations.
