Why Choose the Lovato P1MB4PC06 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB4PC06 is a dependable four-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the Lovato Electric P1MB modular protection range, it combines reliable thermal-magnetic operation with a compact DIN rail format suitable for industrial machinery, commercial distribution systems and electrical control panels.
This miniature circuit breaker features a rated current of 6 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and an IEC short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA. Its Type C response accommodates moderate starting currents, making it suitable for control transformers, small motors, solenoids, power supplies, contactor coils and other inductive electrical equipment.
With four mechanically linked protected poles, the P1MB4PC06 provides simultaneous disconnection of all conductors during overload and short-circuit conditions. Its four-module housing mounts directly onto a standard DIN rail, enabling straightforward installation within distribution boards, switchgear assemblies and industrial automation cabinets.
