Egis 3202-20 20A Dual-Pole AC Circuit Breaker
Egis 3202-20 20A Dual-Pole AC Circuit Breaker — Product description
The Egis A Series 3202-20 is a dual-pole, 20-amp panel-mount circuit breaker rated for both AC and DC marine systems. It fits standard panels built for A-Series and C-Series magnetic-hydraulic breakers, carries a UL 1077 listing, and handles a 5kA interrupt so it can protect circuits fed by big paralleled battery banks.
The Egis A Series 3202-20 is a panel-mount circuit breaker built for the kind of AC and DC work you run into on a boat. It's a dual-pole, 20-amp breaker with a clean white toggle, and it drops into any standard panel that accepts A-Series or C-Series magnetic-hydraulic breakers. Mounting screws come in the box.
What makes it worth the money is the interrupt rating. At 5kA on 277 Vac and 1.5kA on 80 Vdc, it can safely clear a fault even when it's wired to a large paralleled battery bank with a lot of available power. That's the scenario where a cheaper breaker gets you in trouble. It's UL 1077 listed and rated for 6,000 cycles at full current, so it'll switch for years without losing its bite.
Stainless steel self-locking hardware keeps the terminals tight through vibration and temperature swings. And Egis backs it with a 4-year warranty. If you're building or refitting an AC distribution panel and want over-current protection you don't have to think about again, this is a solid pick.
Key Features
- 20-amp continuous current rating with a dual-pole design, so it switches both sides of an AC circuit at once
- Rated to 277 Vac / 80 Vdc, meaning the same breaker handles shore-power AC and DC battery circuits
- 5kA interrupt capacity at 277 Vac (1.5kA at 80 Vdc) protects circuits tied to large paralleled battery banks
- UL 1077 listed and tested to 6,000 cycles at rated current for long service life
- Stainless steel self-locking hardware and included mounting screws for a secure install that holds up to vibration

Frequently asked questions
Can the 3202-20 be used on both AC and DC circuits?
Yes. It's rated to 277 Vac and 80 Vdc, so you can use the same breaker for shore-power AC circuits and DC battery circuits.
What does dual-pole mean on this breaker?
A dual-pole breaker switches and protects two conductors at once. On an AC circuit that lets you break both the line and neutral together for a complete disconnect.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Mounting screws are included, and it drops into any standard panel that accepts A-Series or C-Series magnetic-hydraulic circuit breakers.
Why does the high interrupt rating matter?
The 5kA interrupt capacity means the breaker can safely clear a short even when it's wired to a large paralleled battery bank with a lot of available fault current. A lower-rated breaker can fail in that situation.
