RenewCanada's 250 Amp DC Breakers

We have had several customers requesting 250 amp DC breakers as they can be difficult to locate and very expensive to purchase. (go to 250 amp DC breakers)

A common application for a 250 amp DC breaker is for use as an over current protection device as well as a DC disconnect for inverters like those purchased from stores like Canadian Tire or Walmart. These stores sell inverters, charge controllers and solar modules but fail to supply the other required components leaving you frustrated and disappointed. sad face

Unfortunately, it is very common for a consumer to purchase a large inverter from a store like Canadian Tire only to get it home, read the manual and realize you need a 250 amp DC breaker that could cost more than the inverter itself. Not only that... you can't even buy the breaker from the store that sold you the inverter.

  • The next probable step would be to search locally. 

We are not sure where you live, but we are pretty sure you will not be able to find a 250 amp DC breaker at your local electrical supply center.

  • Logically, the next step would be to search the world wide web. 

Most renewable energy websites and solar stores are selling 250 amp DC breakers for prices between $141 and $226 Canadian dollars. That is a lot of money for one circuit breaker.

Don't take our word for it...

That's why we have made arrangements (and large purchases) with our suppliers to make 250 amp DC breakers available to our customers for less than the wholesale price. I am so happy to be able to buy a 250 amp DC breaker for only $94

Every year we supply several 250 amp DC breakers to our loyal customers.

They are available from RenewCanada.com in two different configurations...
