2-pole circuit breaker - 3-pole 415 VAC, 60 A, medium trip delay

A "three-pole" circuit breaker is designed to simultaneously interrupt the current on three phases of an electrical circuit. This is essential for protecting three-phase equipment and systems, ensuring a complete power cut in case of anomaly detection.

This Raymarine circuit breaker is specifically rated for a nominal voltage of 415 VAC (Volts Alternating Current).

This circuit breaker is rated for a nominal current of 60 amperes (A). It provides protection against overcurrent and short circuits up to this rating.

The "average tripping delay" indicates that the circuit breaker is designed to react in a balanced way to overcurrents. It will not trip excessively quickly in response to short-duration transient current spikes, but will ensure effective interruption in the event of prolonged overload or short circuit, thus avoiding nuisance tripping while protecting the circuit.

Yes, this circuit breaker is designed for protecting AC circuits on board vessels and other marine electrical installations. It contributes to the reliability of the electrical network at sea by protecting against overcurrents and short circuits.

This circuit breaker provides essential protection against:

Overcurrents: When the current exceeds the rated value (60 A) for a given period.Short circuits: In case of accidental connection between two points in the circuit at different potentials, causing a sudden and significant increase in current.It prevents damage to equipment and fire hazards.

No, this circuit breaker is specifically "triple-pole", meaning it is designed for electrical systems requiring a three-phase cutoff. For a single-phase system, a single-pole or double-pole circuit breaker would be more appropriate, depending on the configuration.

This circuit breaker is made by Raymarine.

This is an AC (alternating current) circuit breaker, as indicated by its "415 V AC" rating. It is not designed for DC (direct current) circuits.

Yes, installing this circuit breaker requires expertise in marine electrical systems. It is critical to comply with current standards (such as ABYC, NEC, or NFPA) and ensure proper integration into the vessel’s electrical panel for safety and installation compliance.

The suitability of its rating (60 A) and voltage (415 VAC) with the connected loads is critical. It is essential to verify that the specifications of this circuit breaker match the requirements of your three-phase electrical system to ensure optimal protection.

The product reference (SKU) for this circuit breaker is CW3B424660110JU.

Yes, like most modern circuit breakers, this one is designed to be manually reset after tripping due to an overload or short circuit, once the cause of the issue has been identified and corrected.

Yes, with its 60 A rating and ability to handle 415 VAC three-phase power, it is often used for high-power equipment or three-phase circuits specific to vessels.

Although the text does not specify any particular certification for this exact model, marine electrical installations must generally comply with strict standards such as those from the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the National Electric Code (NEC), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This circuit breaker must be installed in compliance with these requirements.

This circuit breaker is a standalone electrical protection component. It can be integrated into various marine electrical systems, including AC power distribution units (AC Power Distribution Units) that are themselves part of larger systems such as OctoPlex, but the circuit breaker itself is not a digital system or an OctoPlex module.

The main difference is that a circuit breaker is a resettable device that can be reused after tripping (once the fault is corrected), whereas a fuse is a single-use device that must be replaced after melting to interrupt a circuit in case of overcurrent or short circuit.

No, this circuit breaker is specifically designed for a rated voltage of 415 VAC. Using it on a 230 VAC system would be inappropriate and could result in incorrect operation or inadequate protection.

A circuit breaker contains a mechanism that detects current anomalies, such as overloads (excessive current for too long) or short circuits (sudden and massive current surge). When an anomaly is detected, the circuit breaker automatically opens the circuit, cutting off the electrical supply to prevent equipment damage, fire hazards, and electric shocks.

This type of circuit breaker is typically installed in the main electrical panel or a secondary distribution panel aboard the vessel, protecting the three-phase circuits that power specific high-power equipment.
