AC Circuit Breaker Gen 2 - Bipolar 230 VAC, 15 A, long time delay

This is a component of the OctoPlex G2-Series digital power distribution system, designed for protecting AC circuits aboard vessels. It is bipolar, handles 230 VAC and 15 A, with a long delay before tripping.

It protects the vessel's AC electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. Its 15 ampere rating and 230 VAC voltage make it suitable for marine equipment operating on these specifications. Being double-pole means it simultaneously interrupts both conductors (phase and neutral or two phases) in the circuit.

A "long trip delay" indicates that the circuit breaker is designed to tolerate inrush currents or temporary overloads without tripping immediately. This is particularly useful for capacitive or inductive loads (such as motors, transformers) that may experience current spikes at startup, thus avoiding nuisance tripping.

This circuit breaker is double-pole, meaning it simultaneously disconnects both conductors of the circuit (for example, the live and neutral in a single-phase installation, or both live conductors in a two-phase installation) in case of a fault.

This circuit breaker has a nominal voltage of 230 VAC (alternating current) and a nominal current rating of 15 amperes.

Yes, it is designed for protecting AC circuits on board vessels and complies with strict maritime standards and certifications, such as IEC60533, IEC60945, and Lloyd’s type approval.

Yes, this circuit breaker is an essential component of Raymarine’s OctoPlex G2-Series digital power distribution system. It is specifically designed to integrate into the AC power distribution units of this system.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system, to which this circuit breaker belongs, is NMEA 2000 certified. This certification ensures its interoperability with other NMEA 2000-compatible marine devices.

No, this circuit breaker is specifically designed for 230 VAC applications. Using it on a 110 VAC system would not comply with specifications and may not function correctly or provide adequate protection.

This circuit breaker is double-pole. It can be used to protect a single phase and the neutral, or two phases of a three-phase system, but it is not a full three-phase circuit breaker designed to disconnect all three phases simultaneously.

This circuit breaker is designed to be inserted into the dedicated slots of the AC power distribution units in the OctoPlex G2-Series system. Integration provides not only circuit protection but also remote on/off switching and status monitoring via the NMEA 2000 network.

Installation of this circuit breaker, as part of the OctoPlex G2-Series system, must be carried out in accordance with the OctoPlex system installation guide. It is recommended to use a qualified professional for any work on the vessel's electrical system.

The OctoPlex G2-Series system is designed to reduce wiring complexity and vessel weight. It provides a redundant architecture for increased reliability and safety, and enables centralized monitoring and control of AC and DC loads via a CAN bus NMEA 2000 network.

As part of the OctoPlex G2-Series system, this circuit breaker allows remote on/off operation. Control is performed via the OctoPlex system user interface, typically a multifunction display compatible with NMEA 2000.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system allows monitoring of this circuit breaker's status. You can check whether it is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF) and whether it has tripped via the system interface.

This circuit breaker, as part of the OctoPlex G2-Series system, complies with IEC60533 for electrical and electronic installations on ships, and IEC60945 for navigation and maritime radio communication equipment and systems.

Lloyd’s type approval is a certification issued by Lloyd's Register, a globally recognized maritime classification society. It certifies that the product has been tested and deemed compliant with strict safety and performance requirements for use in the marine environment.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system is designed with a redundant architecture. This design eliminates single points of failure, thereby increasing the reliability and safety of the electrical distribution onboard the vessel.

Yes, the AC and DC circuit breakers in the OctoPlex system are designed to be field-replaceable, which simplifies maintenance and replacement.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system, via the MConnect web server, is compatible with the integration of multifunction display manufacturers, including Raymarine Axiom displays.
