AC Circuit Breaker Gen 2 - Bipolar 230 VAC, 30 A, Standard Trip

The Raymarine CA Gen 2 circuit breaker is a critical component designed for protecting AC circuits aboard vessels. It integrates into the AC power distribution units of the OctoPlex G2-Series system and ensures the safety of electrical installations in case of overload or short circuit.

This circuit breaker is a double-pole type, designed for 230 V AC applications and supports a maximum current of 30 A. It has a medium trip delay.

A double-pole circuit breaker means it can simultaneously interrupt both conductors of a circuit (typically the live and neutral in a single-phase system, or two phases in a three-phase system), thus ensuring a complete power cut-off to the protected circuit.

This specific circuit breaker is designed for 230 VAC applications. For 110 V or 240 V systems, compatibility must be verified with the appropriate circuit breaker from the OctoPlex G2-Series, as the system supports these different voltages, but each circuit breaker has its own specifications.

An average trip delay indicates that the circuit breaker reacts to an overload or short circuit within a moderate time frame. This provides a balance between rapid protection against severe faults and tolerance for temporary current spikes that may occur during startup of certain equipment.

No, OctoPlex products, including this circuit breaker, are not ignition-protected devices and must not be installed in areas with combustible vapors, as stated in the installation guide warnings.

This circuit breaker is an essential component and is integral to the AC power distribution units of the OctoPlex G2-Series system. It is designed to operate specifically within this electrical management architecture.

Yes, this circuit breaker fully integrates into a NMEA 2000® CAN bus network architecture. This integration enables centralized electrical management and remote monitoring of circuits.

Yes, the OctoPlex system uses a NMEA 2000 CAN bus network with a redundant architecture. This is designed to improve the reliability and safety of the entire electrical system by eliminating single points of failure.

Yes, thanks to its integration with the OctoPlex system and the NMEA 2000 network, this circuit breaker allows remote control and monitoring. The on/off operation and status monitoring can be performed via a user interface, such as a multifunction display (MFD).

Thanks to its integration with the OctoPlex system and the NMEA 2000 network, the circuit breaker enables monitoring of the circuit status (on/off). If the AC power distribution unit is equipped with additional sensors, other electrical data such as voltage, current, and frequency can also be monitored.

Yes, the OctoPlex G2-Series system provides a fully configurable and customizable user interface via a multifunction display (MFD). This display serves as the primary interface for controlling, monitoring, and reporting the system status of all components, including this circuit breaker.

Yes, integrating this circuit breaker into the OctoPlex system helps reduce wiring and simplifies the overall electrical installation on board. The NMEA 2000 network replaces much of the traditional wiring.

Yes, periodic inspection of all mounting hardware and connections is recommended. This practice is essential to ensure proper operation, reliability, and long-term safety of the onboard electrical system.

Installation of the OctoPlex system, including this circuit breaker, is detailed in an installation and operation manual. It is designed to be installed by users or installers familiar with system components and applicable marine electrical standards.
