Barra omnibus comuna 150 A - 10 terminals

This is an electrical component from Blue Sea Systems, model 2301-BSS, designed to centralize negative or ground connections (current returns) aboard vessels. It simplifies wiring and organizes power distribution for auxiliary circuits.

Its main function is to group the ground or negative connections of multiple electrical devices (such as lighting, pumps, VHF radios, or other instruments) to ensure organized and secure current distribution.

This busbar is rated for a maximum current of 150 amperes (150 A).

It is equipped with 10 connection terminals, allowing up to 10 separate circuits to be grouped on a common ground.

Yes, this busbar is specifically designed for the marine environment. It is certified compliant with marine safety standards, including protection against ignition of flammable gases.

The 2301-BSS busbar is certified compliant with Directive 94/25/EC (amended by 2003/44/EC) for recreational craft and meets ISO 8846 standards. These certifications ensure protection against ignition of surrounding flammable gases.

Yes, the 2301-BSS model is certified to provide protection against ignition of surrounding flammable gases, a critical safety feature in marine environments.

It is intended for basic electrical installations and circuit extensions on small to medium-sized vessels where consolidation of ground points is required without complex network features.

This busbar provides a simple and direct approach for managing return currents (common ground). Unlike smart NMEA 2000 junction boxes or advanced battery management systems, it does not offer network features or intelligent data management.

The busbar must be mounted on a flat and stable surface using screws. Ground cables from the various devices are then connected to the 10 available terminals.

Installation typically requires basic tools such as a screwdriver to tighten terminals and crimping pliers to prepare cable lugs.

It must be installed in a dry and accessible location, protected from direct water spray, while being close to the equipment it powers to minimize cable length.

It is essential to ensure that the power supply is cut off before any handling. You must also respect the recommended tightening torque for the terminals to ensure a secure connection and avoid overheating.

Yes, busbars of this type are passive components and are generally compatible with 12V, 24V, or even 48V marine electrical systems, provided the total current does not exceed 150 amperes.

Yes, it is designed to consolidate the ground connections of various marine equipment such as lighting, pumps, VHF radios, navigation instruments, etc., provided their combined return current does not exceed 150 A.

It is compatible with standard marine cables, provided they are fitted with appropriate terminals for the busbar connectors and that their cross-section matches the current they are required to carry.

This specific model has 10 fixed terminals. If more terminals are required, another busbar would need to be added or a Blue Sea Systems busbar model with a greater number of terminals should be used.
