Description
The Blue Sea Systems 285-Series Circuit Breaker – Panel Mount 40A (7082) is a marine-grade thermal circuit breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection and convenient manual switching in a single unit. Suitable for marine DC electrical systems, it helps protect wiring and connected equipment against excessive current while allowing the circuit to be manually switched and reset.
Designed for demanding marine environments, this circuit breaker features weather-resistant construction and ignition protection. It meets SAE J1171 external ignition protection requirements, making it suitable for installation aboard petrol-powered boats when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The visible reset lever clearly indicates when the circuit breaker is open, while the Type III trip-free mechanism prevents it from being held closed after tripping. Its panel-mount design supports neat integration into marine electrical panels, and the M6 terminal studs accept 1/4-inch ring terminals for secure electrical connections.
