12-volt DC electrical panel with 4 positions

This electrical panel is specifically designed to operate with a 12-volt DC (direct current) power supply.

The BLUE SEA 1216-BSS electrical panel is designed to handle four separate circuits.

The panel is supplied with four circuit breakers from the A series, each rated at 15 Amperes. These circuit breakers are pre-installed for immediate protection of your circuits.

The main bus maximum capacity for the entire electrical panel is 100 Amperes. Each individual circuit is protected by a 15 Ampere circuit breaker.

The compact dimensions of the panel are:

Height: 120.65 mmWidth: 123.95 mmDepth: 76.2 mmIts weight is 0.61 kg.

Yes, the positive, negative, and ground buses are pre-wired, which greatly simplifies the installation process and reduces assembly time.

No, this electrical panel is designed for protected environments. It is ideal for installation inside a cabin or in a closed console, but it is not suitable for areas directly exposed to harsh weather, unlike other Blue Sea panel series.

The panel is equipped with ON LEDs for each circuit position, allowing quick visualisation of each circuit's state. Additionally, the labelling positions are backlit for better visibility in low-light conditions.

The panel is made of marine-grade aluminum and features a two-part polyurethane finish in slate gray, providing durability and a refined appearance.

The panel is supplied with the following accessories to facilitate installation and use:

A set of 4205 square-format labels, including 30 common DC labels.A cutting template for precise installation.Detailed installation instructions.

Installation requires cutting an opening in the mounting surface using the provided cutting template. Positive, negative, and ground buses are pre-wired to simplify main connections. Detailed instructions are included to guide the installation process.

The panel is supplied with 15 Amp circuit breakers. While it is technically possible to replace the circuit breakers with other A-series models with a different amp rating, it is critical to ensure the chosen rating is suitable for the connected circuit and does not exceed the maximum capacity of the wiring or the panel’s main bus (100A).

The panel comes with a set of 30 standard CC labels in 4205 square format. These labels are designed to fit into the backlit slots of the panel and can be swapped as needed for your circuits.

No, this electrical panel is specifically designed for 12 V DC systems. Using it with a 24 V DC system is not recommended and could damage the panel or connected equipment.

The panel itself does not include active reverse polarity protection. It is essential to ensure that the positive and negative power connections are correctly wired during installation to prevent damage.

Each circuit position has an ON indicator LED. When the circuit breaker is in the "ON" position and the circuit is powered, the corresponding LED lights up, indicating that the circuit is active.

Yes, although designed for marine applications, this 12-volt DC electrical panel can be used in other specialized vehicles such as camper vans or converted vans, provided it is installed in a protected environment and the voltage (12V DC) and amperage requirements are met.

Circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. In the event of a problem, the circuit breaker trips automatically, cutting off power to the affected circuit to prevent damage to equipment or wiring. They can be reset manually once the issue is resolved.

The panel is equipped with circuit breakers for each circuit. However, it is generally recommended to install a main fuse or appropriately rated circuit breaker on the 12V DC main power cable, upstream of the panel, to protect the entire system against major overload or short-circuit on the main bus.

Yes, the BLUE SEA 1216-BSS electrical panel is designed to simplify installation aboard. It features pre-wired positive, negative, and ground buses, reducing initial wiring time and complexity.

To facilitate mounting, the following accessories are included:

A cutting template for precise fitting during integration.Detailed installation instructions to guide you step-by-step.A set of 4205 square format labels, including 30 common DC circuit labels for clear function identification.Its compact dimensions (120.65 mm height, 123.95 mm width, 76.2 mm depth) and lightweight 0.61 kg weight also contribute to easy integration in various protected spaces, such as cabin interiors or enclosed consoles.
