Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB):
reliable and scalable protection for your installations
In industrial and commercial environments, the reliability of protection devices is essential to ensure the safety of people, protect equipment, and maintain service continuity.
That’s where Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) play a central role in electrical distribution. Versatile and durable, they provide a tailored solution to meet the most varied demands—from small electrical panels to large-scale installations.
A complete range to meet every need
MCCBs are available in 3-pole or 4-pole versions, with current ratings ranging from 16 A to 1600 A, depending on the model.
They effectively protect circuits against overloads, short circuits, and ground faults, while adapting to various applications—residential, commercial, or industrial.
UL 489 certification
Lovato’s circuit breakers are UL 489 certified—the benchmark standard for low-voltage protection devices in Canada.
This certification ensures the breakers meet strict requirements for safety, performance, and resistance to intensive operating conditions.
Flexible installation and mounting options
Designed with installers and system integrators in mind, MCCBs offer multiple mounting configurations: rear panel, DIN rail, or front panel with remote controls. Terminals are accessible and secure, allowing for fast and reliable wiring.
