Detailed description

Designed for protecting marine electrical circuits, the Blue Sea 2130-BSS 5-amp circuit breaker provides effective thermal cutoff in case of overcurrent. This component is essential to prevent equipment damage and fire risks on board. It features a manual reset function via push button, allowing the circuit to be restored after correcting the fault. Its screw terminals enable direct and secure electrical connections, suitable for fixed installations.

Positioning and applications

This 5-amp push-button thermal circuit breaker serves as a compact and economical protection solution for low-current circuits. Unlike the Blue Sea 187 or 285 series magneto-hydraulic circuit breakers, designed for higher loads and more demanding environments, the 2130-BSS model is specifically suited for auxiliary equipment such as LED lighting, small navigation instruments, or USB chargers. Its "reset only" design simplifies the user interface, while its screw terminals facilitate quick and secure integration into secondary panels or distribution boxes. It offers a simple and reliable alternative to fuses, with the advantage of immediate reset without replacing any parts.

Technical specifications

The circuit breaker 2130-BSS is a "Push Button Reset Only" component designed for simplified installation. Its 5-amp capacity makes it ideal for protecting specific circuits that do not require high current. The use of screw terminals ensures a robust mechanical and electrical connection, minimizing the risk of loose contacts. This circuit breaker is a replacement part or a component for new electrical installations on board, ensuring compliance with marine electrical safety standards.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

« Blue Sea 5A circuit breaker: essential protection for auxiliary circuits »

This 5-amp push-button circuit breaker is a fundamental component for isolating and protecting low-current individual loads aboard a vessel. It is particularly relevant for auxiliary circuits such as LED lighting, small navigation instruments, or USB charging ports, where a local and dedicated protection point is beneficial. Its design, featuring screw terminals, simplifies the installation process, making it accessible to professional installers and knowledgeable amateurs. Unlike more complex magnetic-hydraulic circuit breakers that offer precise trip curves for critical systems, this thermal circuit breaker is optimized for rapid overload detection in less demanding applications, ensuring immediate cutoff in case of a fault. It integrates ideally into secondary panels or directly near a specific consumer, thus avoiding long wiring runs to a main panel. It is less suitable for circuits with high inductance or systems requiring precise timing and is not suited for applications needing protection against high-intensity short circuits where a magnetic-hydraulic circuit breaker would be preferable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What does the "Reset Only" function mean for this circuit breaker?

The "Reset Only" function means the circuit breaker can only be manually reset after tripping due to an overcurrent. It cannot be used as an on/off switch to manually control the circuit. Its sole purpose is to protect the circuit and allow reset after the fault has been corrected.

What is the rated current of this Blue Sea 2130-BSS circuit breaker?

This Blue Sea 2130-BSS circuit breaker is rated for 5 amperes. This means it can continuously carry up to 5 amperes without tripping and will trip if the current exceeds this value to protect the circuit.

How is this circuit breaker connected in a marine electrical system?

This circuit breaker features screw terminals, enabling direct and secure electrical connections. It is designed to be integrated into secondary panels or distribution boxes, allowing for a fixed and reliable installation.

For which types of marine equipment is this 5-amp circuit breaker most suitable?

This 5-amp circuit breaker is specifically suited for low-current circuits. It is ideal for protecting auxiliary equipment such as LED lighting, small navigation instruments, or USB chargers aboard your boat.

What type of protection does this circuit breaker provide?

This circuit breaker provides thermal protection. It is designed to detect overcurrents caused by overload or short circuit, and to automatically cut off the circuit to prevent equipment damage and fire hazards.

What are the advantages of this circuit breaker compared to using fuses?

One of the main advantages of this circuit breaker compared to fuses is its immediate reset capability. In case of tripping, you only need to press the button to restore the circuit after correcting the fault, without having to replace a part as is required with a fuse.

Is this circuit breaker suitable for high-current circuits?

No, this circuit breaker is a 5-amp model and is specifically designed for low-current circuits. For higher loads and more demanding environments, Blue Sea’s 187 or 285 magneto-hydraulic circuit breaker series are generally more suitable.

Can this circuit breaker be used as the main switch for a piece of equipment?

No, this circuit breaker is of the "Reset Only" type and its primary function is to protect the circuit against overcurrents. It must not be used as a main switch to turn equipment on or off, as it is not designed for frequent manual switching.
