AC Circuit Breaker Gen 2 - Single Pole 230 VAC, 16 A, Long Delay Trip

The Raymarine Gen 2 single-pole AC circuit breaker is a critical component designed for protecting alternating current circuits aboard vessels. Its primary function is to interrupt power in the event of overload or short circuit, safeguarding equipment and wiring within the electrical system.

This circuit breaker is designed for systems operating at 230 V AC and has a rated current of 16 A.

The "unipolar" designation means this circuit breaker is designed to protect a single conductor (one phase) of an AC circuit. It cuts off only that single conductor in case of a fault.

The "long delay" characteristic makes this circuit breaker particularly suitable for inductive loads or equipment with transient inrush currents. This prevents nuisance tripping when starting certain devices that temporarily draw more current.

Yes, the Gen 2 Raymarine AC circuit breaker is specifically designed for marine applications. It is built to meet the requirements of marine environments and contributes to the reliability of electrical installations at sea.

This 16 A circuit breaker is rated for specific loads requiring protection at this current level. Due to its long trip delay, it is particularly suitable for inductive loads or equipment with high inrush currents at startup, such as certain motors or transformers on board.

The Gen 2 AC circuit breaker is part of Maretron’s G2-Series OctoPlex power distribution system, a NMEA 2000-certified architecture. It is designed to integrate into this modular system.

Yes, when integrated into modern modular power distribution systems such as the G2 OctoPlex AC distribution units, it reduces wiring and simplifies installation while providing centralized control.

This circuit breaker is a spare part designed to fit into modern modular power distribution systems, such as the G2 OctoPlex AC distribution units. These units are available in 8, 13, and 19-position versions.

Yes, when integrated into a compatible OctoPlex AC distribution unit, this circuit breaker is part of a system that uses the NMEA 2000 network. This allows remote activation/deactivation and monitoring of circuit status via this network.

No, this circuit breaker model is specifically designed for systems operating at 230 VAC. It is not compatible with 110 VAC systems.

This circuit breaker holds multiple certifications, including:

CE ApprovedIEC60533 (Electrical and electronic installations on ships)IEC60945 (Marine navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems)NMEA 2000® Approved (Certified, Category B)Lloyd’s Type Approved

As a single-pole circuit breaker, it is designed to protect a single phase conductor. It can be used within a three-phase system to protect a specific line, but it is not a three-phase circuit breaker that would cut all three phases simultaneously.

This circuit breaker is designed to integrate into modular power distribution systems. It is important to note that OctoPlex products are not ignition-protected devices and must not be installed in areas with combustible vapors.

Yes, when integrated into a compatible OctoPlex AC distribution unit, this circuit breaker enables remote activation/deactivation and circuit status monitoring. This functionality is made possible by integration into a digital energy management architecture via the NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, the installation of this circuit breaker and the OctoPlex system components must comply with all applicable industrial standards for wiring and protection. This includes, but is not limited to, those of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the National Electrical Code (NEC), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

By providing a fast and precise power cut in case of overload or short circuit, this circuit breaker protects equipment and wiring. Its integration into a digital energy management system on board, with remote monitoring and control, enables proactive management and better awareness of the boat's electrical system status, thereby increasing overall reliability.

Integrating this circuit breaker into a modular power distribution system, such as the G2 OctoPlex series, provides several advantages:

Reduced wiring requirements. Simplified installation. Centralized AC circuit control. Circuit status monitoring. These features contribute to more efficient and reliable onboard power management.

Yes, this circuit breaker is a key component of the Maretron/Raymarine OctoPlex system. This complete system allows full control of all AC and DC loads on the vessel via an NMEA 2000 network, providing a redundant architecture for reliability and safety, as well as monitoring and control capabilities through dedicated multifunction displays.

Yes, the primary function of this circuit breaker is to provide complete protection against overloads and short circuits. It is designed to cut off the electrical power supply to the protected circuit as soon as an overload or short-circuit condition is detected, thereby preventing damage to equipment and wiring.
