Circuit breaker series 285 - Panel mount 120 A

The BLUE SEA 285 series circuit breaker is designed to protect marine electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. It automatically interrupts the current in case of failure, preventing damage to equipment and wiring.

This BLUE SEA 285 series circuit breaker has a rated current of 120 Amperes (A). It is suitable for applications requiring overcurrent protection up to this value.

This circuit breaker is designed for panel mounting. This allows for clean integration and easy access within the vessel's electrical panel, making manual activation or reset straightforward.

Yes, unlike single-use fuses, this circuit breaker is manually resettable. After tripping due to overload or short circuit, it can be reactivated once the issue has been resolved.

This circuit breaker is suitable for protecting various high-power consumption equipment on board, such as windlasses, inverters, bow thrusters, or main distribution circuits.

Blue Sea Systems 285 series circuit breakers are generally designed to operate with 12V DC to 48V DC electrical systems. It is important to verify the specific voltage of your system before installation.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems circuit breakers in the 285 series are typically ignition protected per SAE J1171. This makes them safe for installation in engine compartments of gasoline-powered boats.

Although exact dimensions are not provided here, this circuit breaker is designed for panel mounting and requires a specific cutout. It is recommended to consult the technical diagram or the manufacturer's product sheet for precise cutout and overall dimensions.

Circuit breakers offer several advantages over traditional fuses:

They are resettable, eliminating the need for constant replacement after a trip.They provide more precise protection against overloads.They simplify electrical fault management on board, enabling quick restoration of service after resolving the issue.

Yes, this circuit breaker is specifically designed by BLUE SEA SYSTEMS for marine applications. Its design and materials are selected to withstand harsh nautical environment conditions such as humidity and vibrations.

The 285 series circuit breakers are typically equipped with stud terminals for cable connections. It is essential to use appropriate cable lugs and tighten the nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque to ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

No, this circuit breaker is a standalone unit that integrates protection and reset functions. It does not require an external fuse holder. For panel mounting, it installs directly into an appropriate cutout.

Yes, designed for the marine environment, this circuit breaker is made with corrosion-resistant materials. BLUE SEA SYSTEMS uses marine-grade components to ensure durability and reliability in wet and saline conditions.

The circuit breaker is designed for panel mounting and is usually supplied with the nuts and washers needed to secure the terminals. However, the panel mounting screws and electrical cables with suitable terminals are generally not included and must be purchased separately.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems products, including the 285 series, are designed to meet recognized safety and performance standards in the marine industry, such as ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) and SAE J1171 ignition protection.

The reset button allows manual rearming of the circuit breaker after it has tripped due to overload or short circuit. It also serves as a manual switch to cut or restore power to the protected circuit.

No, the BLUE SEA 285 series circuit breaker is specifically designed and certified for DC (direct current) applications only. Using this circuit breaker in an AC circuit could compromise its performance and safety.

Blue Sea Systems products are generally covered by a manufacturer's warranty attesting to their quality and absence of manufacturing defects. For specific details regarding the duration and terms of the warranty, it is recommended to consult Blue Sea Systems' official documentation.
