Low Voltage Circuit Protection

Select circuit protection by function: miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) for final circuits, moulded-case breakers (MCCBs) for feeders, air circuit breakers (ACBs) for main incomers, residual-current devices and surge protection. The range highlights now include a clearly identified MCB image.

Confirm the exact manufacturer reference, rated voltage, pole count, current, breaking capacity and coordination data. Images identify equipment families; they do not prove that every pictured variant has the same rating or that a particular item is in stock.

Miniature circuit breakersPictured: LOVATO Electric P1MB MCB family photograph marked C6.

Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)

The LOVATO P1MB family photograph is visibly marked C6: a 6 A, C-curve single-pole MCB. The manufacturer shares this photograph across order codes. Select the exact current rating, pole count and voltage-specific breaking capacity before ordering; an MCB is not an RCD.
