MP Series 17
High Amp Thermal Circuit Breaker

Hi Amp Circuit Breaker
Rated to 300 Amps

The Mechanical Products Series 17 is a high-amperage thermal circuit breaker designed for DC vehicle electrical systems operating in demanding environments. The Series 17 provides resettable overcurrent protection from 20 to 300 amps and is commonly used in work trucks, emergency vehicles, buses, marine systems, agricultural equipment, and liftgates.

The breaker protects wiring, batteries, motors, pumps, and power distribution circuits from overload and short-circuit conditions while allowing the circuit to be quickly reset after a fault.

Key capabilities include:

  • Thermal overcurrent protection up to 300 amps
  • Type I and Type III vehicle protection
  • Waterproof and ignition-protected construction
  • Trip-free operation with visible trip indication
  • Multiple mounting options including surface mount, panel mount, and 90° easy-access configurations

The Series 17 is designed as a drop-in replacement for many high-amp breakers used in transportation and marine systems, including common designs from Blue Sea and Bussmann.
