It's AC and DC rated, resets by hand at the toggle, and drops into standard A-Series and C-Series cutouts with the stainless hardware included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Egis Mobile Electric 3201-30 is a single-pole, 30-amp magnetic-hydraulic circuit breaker built for panel mounting. It's a toggle-style breaker in a clean white housing, and it drops into standard panels cut for A-Series and C-Series magnetic-hydraulic breakers. If you're wiring up a helm panel, a distribution board, or a battery management setup, this is the kind of breaker you reach for when you want reliable overcurrent protection you can reset by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a magnetic-hydraulic breaker worth having on a boat comes down to how it trips. Instead of relying on a bimetal strip that reacts to ambient heat, a magnetic-hydraulic breaker uses a coil and a fluid-damped mechanism. That means it trips on the actual current flowing through the circuit, not on how hot the engine room happens to be that day. On a boat, where a panel can bake in the sun or sit next to a warm engine, that temperature stability matters. This one holds its rating across a wide window, from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rated for both AC and DC, which is what makes it flexible on a modern boat. You've got 277 volts AC or 80 volts DC to work with, so the same breaker handles shore-power branch circuits and heavy DC runs off the house bank. The continuous current rating is a full 30 amps. Pair that with the interrupt capacity, 5kA at 277 Vac and 1.5kA at 80 Vdc, and you've got a breaker that can safely open a fault even when it's fed by a large paralleled battery bank with a lot of available energy behind it. That high interrupt number is the spec that separates a real marine breaker from a cheap automotive part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward. The breaker mounts through the panel with a toggle actuator out front, and it uses No. 10-32 screw terminals for the wiring connections. Egis ships it with stainless steel self-locking hardware and mounting screws in the box, so you're not hunting for fasteners partway through the job. The self-locking hardware is a nice touch on a boat, because vibration is the enemy of any threaded connection, and a terminal that backs off over a season is a terminal that overheats. Snug it down once and it stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a manual reset breaker, so after it trips you flip the toggle back yourself. That's usually what you want on a panel. It gives you a visible, physical indication that something opened, and it forces you to look at the circuit before you re-energize it. Rather than a fuse you have to carry spares for, you get a switch you can cycle thousands of times. The 3201-30 is rated for 6,000 cycles of electrical endurance at rated current, so normal use won't wear it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Boatbuilders, riggers, and owners doing their own electrical work who need a UL 1077 recognized supplementary protector for a specific branch circuit. Think bilge pump feeds, electronics buses, windlass control circuits, inverter and charger branches, or any 30-amp load that lives behind a panel. It's also a clean replacement if you've got an existing A-Series or C-Series cutout and a breaker that's gotten tired. Because the mounting pattern is standard, you usually won't need to modify the panel to fit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of things to keep in mind. This is a supplementary protector under UL 1077, so it's meant to protect a specific circuit inside equipment, not to serve as your main branch-circuit protection where a listed branch breaker is required by code. Match the 30-amp rating to your wire gauge and your load. And confirm your panel is cut for the A-Series or C-Series magnetic-hydraulic footprint before you order, since that's what this body is designed to drop into. Get those right and it's a set-and-forget part. Egis backs it with a 4-year warranty, which tells you how they feel about it lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-amp continuous current rating protects a single branch circuit from short circuits and overcurrent loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnetic-hydraulic trip mechanism reacts to actual current, not ambient heat, for stable performance in hot engine rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual AC\/DC rated at 277 Vac \/ 80 Vdc, so one breaker covers shore-power and DC house-bank circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh interrupt capacity of 5kA at 277 Vac and 1.5kA at 80 Vdc safely clears faults on large paralleled battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual toggle reset gives a visible trip indication and cycles up to 6,000 times at rated current\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide -40 to 185 degree Fahrenheit operating range handles harsh marine and vehicle environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel self-locking hardware and mounting screws included, resisting vibration loosening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrops into standard panels cut for A-Series and C-Series magnetic-hydraulic breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 1077 recognized supplementary protector for equipment circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 10-32 screw terminals for secure wiring connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 4-year Egis Mobile Electric warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Egis Mobile Electric reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eCan I use the 3201-30 on both AC and DC circuits?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
