Egis Mobile Electric makes rugged DC circuit breakers for marine and vehicle systems. Find panel and surface mount 87 and 285 Series breakers from 20A up to 250A.
Sizing the Breaker
A circuit breaker protects wiring from overload, so the amp rating must match the wire and the load it feeds. Egis offers breakers from 20A mini units up to 250A, covering everything from small accessory circuits to main feeds, windlasses, and inverters. Size the breaker to the wire gauge it protects, not just the device, so the breaker trips before the wire overheats. When in doubt, follow your system design or an ABYC reference for the correct rating.
Mount Style and Series
Choose panel mount or surface mount based on where the breaker lives. Panel mount units sit flush on a switch panel for a clean dash, while surface mount breakers bolt to a bulkhead near the load. Egis offers the 87 Series and 285 Series at matching amp ratings, so match the series to your existing breakers or panel layout for a consistent install. Confirm the mounting footprint before ordering a replacement.
