Description
The Blue Sea Systems 187-Series Circuit Breaker – Panel Mount 60A (7040) is a heavy-duty marine circuit protection device that combines manual switching and overcurrent protection in one compact unit. Designed for marine electrical systems, it helps protect circuits against excessive current while allowing convenient manual operation and reset.
Its waterproof construction and ignition-protected design make it suitable for installation aboard petrol-powered boats when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The large operating lever provides clear ON/OFF control, while its vertical or horizontal orientation indicates the breaker’s trip status.
The Type III trip-free mechanism ensures the breaker cannot be held in the ON position when a fault condition causes it to trip. Recessed mounting holes provide a neat panel finish, while the large clearance around the terminal studs accommodates heavy-gauge cable lugs.
