Rotary switch 120 V AC 30 A OFF + 2

This rotary switch is designed to manage alternating current (AC) electrical circuits aboard vessels. It allows manual selection between two distinct power sources, such as shore power and a generator, or to distribute power to two different load groups, with an OFF position to fully isolate the circuits.

The switch has three positions: an OFF position and two active positions, typically numbered 1 and 2. This allows switching between two circuits or power sources.

This switch is designed to operate with an alternating current (AC) voltage of 120 volts and can handle a maximum current of 30 amperes.

Yes, this switch is specifically designed by BLUE SEA for use in marine environments, ensuring reliable and safe switching aboard vessels. Its design is suited to marine conditions.

Blue Sea Systems switches are typically made with UV- and marine-corrosion-resistant plastics and use tinned copper conductors for improved conductivity and resistance to oxidation in a marine environment.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems products are generally supplied with technical documentation including wiring diagrams to facilitate correct and safe installation.

The 'OFF' position (stop) completely isolates the circuit or circuits connected from the power source. This ensures safety during maintenance, when the boat is idle, or when equipment is not in use.

No, this switch is specifically designed and calibrated for 120 V AC (alternating current) circuits. Using it with DC circuits could compromise its performance, safety, and lifespan.

This switch typically uses robust screw terminals for secure and reliable electrical cable connections, ensuring good conductivity and resistance to vibrations.

Installation of marine electrical components must be performed by a qualified person or someone with solid knowledge of marine electrical systems to ensure the safety of people and equipment, as well as compliance with applicable standards.

Rotary switches provide clear and tactile position selection, reducing the risk of accidental switching. Their robust design is often preferred in marine applications for their reliability, durability, and ease of use.

Yes, if the existing switch handles 120 V AC 30 A circuits and the mounting dimensions are compatible, this switch can serve as a replacement. It is essential to verify the electrical specifications of the old switch and ensure wiring compatibility.

Yes, it is essential to always protect electrical circuits with appropriately rated fuses or circuit breakers, installed upstream of this switch, to prevent overloads and short circuits, in compliance with marine safety standards.

Blue Sea Systems switches are designed for long service life in marine environments, with high switching cycles. Durability depends on use and maintenance, but they are built with robust materials to withstand harsh conditions.

Blue Sea Systems is a recognized manufacturer in the marine industry, and their products are generally designed to meet the safety and performance standards applicable to marine equipment, ensuring their reliability and compliance.

Yes, this switch is designed to handle AC loads up to 30 amperes, which typically includes common resistive and inductive loads found on board a boat, such as pumps, battery chargers, or other AC devices.
