Circuit CA Gen2 Disjoncteur - Unipolaire 230 VCA, 40 A, délai de déclenchement moyen

A single-pole circuit breaker is an electrical protection device designed to interrupt the current in a single conductor (the phase) of a circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit. It protects the equipment and wiring connected to that circuit.

This Raymarine circuit breaker is designed to operate with a rated voltage of 230 VAC (alternating current).

This circuit breaker has a rated current of 40 A, meaning it can handle currents up to 40 amperes before tripping to protect the circuit.

This circuit breaker has a medium trip delay. This means it is designed to trip after a certain time in the event of an overload, allowing it to handle transient inrush currents without nuisance tripping while still providing fast protection in the event of a severe fault.

The primary function of this circuit breaker is to protect alternating current (AC) electrical circuits aboard vessels from overloads and short circuits, thereby ensuring the safety of equipment and wiring.

Yes, this circuit breaker is specifically designed for marine applications, ensuring protection of alternating current circuits aboard vessels.

No, this circuit breaker is an "AC Circuit", meaning it is designed exclusively for alternating current (AC) circuits and must not be used for direct current (DC) applications.

This circuit breaker is single-pole, meaning it protects a single phase. For a three-phase system, you would need to use multiple single-pole circuit breakers or an appropriate three-phase circuit breaker. This specific model protects a single conductor.

This circuit breaker is an electrical protection component. It is designed to be integrated into a marine electrical system, potentially in conjunction with other Raymarine or Maretron equipment requiring AC circuit protection. Its compatibility is primarily related to its 230 VAC and 40 A electrical specifications.

Installation of marine electrical components, particularly circuit breakers that ensure circuit safety, must be performed by a qualified person or a marine electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and proper operation.

Yes, it is important to ensure that the power supply is disconnected before any intervention. Products in the OctoPlex range, including this circuit breaker, are not spark-proof devices and must not be installed in areas with combustible vapors. It is also crucial to follow ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) and NEC (National Electric Code) standards.

No, OctoPlex G2-Series products, which this circuit breaker belongs to, are not ignition-protected devices and must not be installed in areas with combustible vapors.

Installation must comply with applicable industrial standards for wiring and protection. This includes, but is not limited to, the standards of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the National Electric Code (NEC), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

This single-pole circuit breaker is designed to be integrated into AC power distribution units, such as those used in the Maretron OctoPlex G2-Series system. It provides AC circuit protection for a single conductor within these units.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system technical documents indicate that both AC and DC circuit breakers are field-replaceable components ("field-replaceable circuit breakers"). This means the circuit breaker can be replaced without requiring full removal of the distribution panel.

The circuit breaker itself provides circuit protection. However, when integrated into a Maretron OctoPlex G2-Series AC power distribution unit, the system enables monitoring of circuit status (voltage, current, frequency) and remote actuation.

The circuit breaker, as an electrical protection component, is not itself a NMEA 2000 device. However, it is intended for use in AC power distribution systems that, like the Maretron OctoPlex G2-Series, are NMEA 2000-certified for network integration.

Integrating this circuit breaker into a system like the OctoPlex G2-Series provides reliable protection for AC circuits. The OctoPlex system offers significant advantages such as reduced wiring weight, simplified installation complexity, and the ability to remotely control and monitor AC loads via the NMEA 2000 network.

This Raymarine Gen2 AC circuit breaker is a critical component designed for protecting alternating current (AC) circuits on board vessels. Its primary function is to safeguard equipment and wiring against overcurrents and short circuits, ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire electrical system.

Type: Single-pole breaker
Rated voltage: 230 V AC
Rated current: 40 A
Tripping characteristic: Standard delay

Yes, this circuit breaker is designed to integrate with the OctoPlex G2-Series power distribution system, which uses a CAN bus NMEA 2000® network. It provides AC circuit protection and enables remote activation/deactivation as well as circuit status monitoring.

This NMEA 2000® integration allows remote control of the circuit breaker, reducing installation complexity and the need for large traditional electrical panels aboard the vessel.
