  • LOVATO launches P1MD breakers for PV and DC-1 loads up to 1000 VDC.
  • P1MD breakers ensure safety with overload and short-circuit protection in photovoltaic systems.
  • Available in 16A to 50A, P1MD provides isolation and meets CEI 64-8 standards.

LOVATO Electric expands its range of protection devices with the new miniature circuit breakers type P1MD, dedicated to DC applications for systems up to 1000 VDC.

P1MD are primarily intended for photovoltaic plants to ensure protection against overloads and short circuits of the cables between the photovoltaic panel strings and the inverter.

Other DC-1 category loads

In addition to photovoltaic applications, they can also be used for other DC-1 category loads

In addition to photovoltaic applications, they can also be used for other DC-1 category loads, such as non-inductive or slightly inductive loads.

The range consists of 4 electrical sizes, from 16A to 50A, with a type B tripping characteristic and a breaking capacity of 5 kA.

P1MD miniature circuit breakers

The P1MD miniature circuit breakers are suitable for isolation, a feature that allows compliance with the CEI 64-8 standard, the regulatory reference for the design and installation of low-voltage electrical systems. They also meet fire safety requirements for emergency disconnection according to fire brigade regulations.

A range of accessories is available, such as auxiliary contacts, fault intervention signalling contacts, undervoltage trip release, and shunt trip releases.
