Paneltronics 'C' Frame Magnetic Circuit Breaker - 100 Amp - Triple Pole - White

The Paneltronics "C" Frame Magnetic Circuit Breaker – 100 Amp, Triple Pole, White is a marine-grade electrical protection device engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards. This magnetic circuit breaker is the standard protection component for Paneltronics electrical distribution panels, delivering dependable trip-free operation and manual reset functionality in demanding maritime and offshore environments where electrical reliability is non-negotiable.

Rated at 100 amps with triple-pole configuration, this breaker is UL Recognized (UL 1077) for use throughout the United States and CSA Certified for Canadian applications. International deployments benefit from CE compliance and VDE approval for European use. The trip-free design ensures the breaker cannot be held in the ON position if an overload or fault condition occurs, meeting strict ABYC E-11.12.1.7.2.2 specifications. Manual reset architecture gives operators positive control—the breaker must be deliberately reset after a trip event, preventing automatic reactivation that could mask underlying electrical faults.

This breaker serves vessel electrical systems, backup power installations, and any application requiring ABYC-compliant non-ignition-protected circuit protection. It is designed as a direct replacement component for existing Paneltronics panels, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern distribution architectures. The compact form factor (3 × 2 × 4 inches) and light weight (0.85 lbs) allow straightforward panel integration without structural modification.

Magnetic circuit breakers protect against high-current fault conditions faster than thermal designs, making them the preferred choice in marine and offshore environments where power surges from engine start or load transients are routine. The 100-amp rating suits systems supporting main propulsion, auxiliary power, and distributed loads typical of mid-to-large vessel configurations. Buyers seeking ABYC-certified electrical protection with proven international standards acceptance will find this breaker a direct-fit solution for Paneltronics panel applications.
