Why Choose the Lovato P1MB4PC10 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Lovato P1MB4PC10 is a reliable 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 dependable 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 10 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA. Its Type C response accommodates moderate inrush currents, making it suitable for small motors, transformers, solenoids, power supplies and other inductive electrical equipment.
With four mechanically linked protected poles, the P1MB4PC10 provides simultaneous disconnection of all conductors during overload and short-circuit conditions. Its four-module housing mounts directly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, enabling straightforward installation within distribution boards, switchgear assemblies and industrial automation cabinets.
