Why Choose the Lovato P1MB2PC08 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB2PC08 is a compact two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in industrial control panels, machinery and power distribution systems. Part of the Lovato P1 MB series, this model combines an 8 A rated current with a Type C tripping characteristic.
The Type C characteristic makes the P1MB2PC08 suitable for general industrial and control applications where equipment can produce moderate inrush currents during normal operation. Its two-pole configuration provides simultaneous circuit protection and isolation across both poles, while its modular construction supports straightforward integration with other DIN rail-mounted protection devices.
Designed for installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, the P1MB2PC08 occupies two DIN modules. Its robust thermal-magnetic operating principle, compact format and coordinated P1 MB accessory system make it a practical choice for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation engineers.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Industrial Systems
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect a circuit when an overload or short circuit causes current to rise beyond acceptable limits. The Lovato P1MB2PC08 uses thermal-magnetic protection, combining thermal overload response with rapid magnetic operation under high fault-current conditions.
Its Curve C characteristic provides tolerance for moderate transient currents while maintaining dependable circuit protection. Together with its two-pole construction and compact DIN rail format, this makes the P1MB2PC08 well suited to industrial control panels, machinery and modular electrical distribution assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machine and automation control circuits.
- Power supplies and auxiliary circuits.
- Industrial distribution boards.
- Equipment with moderate normal starting currents.
- DIN rail-mounted circuit protection assemblies.
