Raritan Circuit Breakers

Raritan circuit breakers, built under the EGIS line, protect marine DC circuits from overload and short circuits. Find push-button and panel-mount breakers from 15 amps up to 150 amps. Choosing Raritan Circuit Breakers Start with the amp rating. The breaker must match the load it protects, so size it to the device draw and the wire gauge it feeds. A breaker rated too high will not trip in time to protect the wiring, and one rated too low will nuisance trip. EGIS breakers run from 15 amps for small accessories up to 150 amps for high-draw circuits. Next pick the mount style. Push-button breakers reset by hand and suit accessory circuits at the helm.

Choosing Raritan Circuit Breakers

Start with the amp rating. The breaker must match the load it protects, so size it to the device draw and the wire gauge it feeds. A breaker rated too high will not trip in time to protect the wiring, and one rated too low will nuisance trip. EGIS breakers run from 15 amps for small accessories up to 150 amps for high-draw circuits.

Next pick the mount style. Push-button breakers reset by hand and suit accessory circuits at the helm. Panel-mount and surface-mount 285-series breakers handle higher loads behind a panel or on a bulkhead. Some models double as a disconnect switch so you can isolate a circuit for service. Confirm the rating, mount and terminal type fit your panel before ordering.

What amp ratings are available?

EGIS breakers run from 15 amps for small accessories up to 150 amps for high-draw circuits.

Can a breaker work as a disconnect?
