Circuit breaker series 187 - Panel mount 80 A

The BLUE SEA Series 187 circuit breaker is an electrical protection device designed for marine applications. It is specifically rated at 80 A and is intended for panel mounting.

Its main function is to provide reliable thermal protection for marine electrical circuits. It automatically interrupts the current in case of overload, thus preventing damage to equipment and cables.

This BLUE SEA 187 series circuit breaker has a nominal current rating of 80 A. This means it is designed to protect circuits where the current does not exceed this value under normal operation.

Yes, the 187 series circuit breaker is resettable. Unlike fuses that require replacement after each trip, this breaker can be manually reset after resolving the overload, simplifying management of temporary faults on board.

Yes, this circuit breaker is specifically designed for the marine environment. It is built to withstand corrosion and vibration, and complies with maritime standards, ensuring increased durability and reliability on board.

The BLUE SEA 187 series circuit breaker is designed for direct current (DC) systems and supports a maximum voltage of 48 V DC.

This circuit breaker provides thermal protection. It detects overcurrents caused by overload and trips to interrupt the circuit, thereby protecting cables and equipment from overheating and damage.

Yes, the 187 series circuit breaker is designed to be resistant to corrosion and vibrations. These features are essential to ensure its reliability and longevity in the demanding conditions of a marine environment.

This circuit breaker is designed for panel mounting. This allows for clean and accessible integration in electrical panels, control consoles, or other flat surfaces aboard the vessel.

Thanks to its panel mounting, this circuit breaker can be installed in locations requiring protection and easy access, such as:

Main or secondary electrical distribution panels.Control consoles.Near high-consumption equipment like inverters, bow thrusters, or windlasses, for dedicated protection.

The Series 187 circuit breaker connects to the electrical circuit via stud terminals. These terminals provide a secure and reliable connection for power and load cables.

Yes, panel mounting requires cutting an appropriately sized hole in the mounting panel. Refer to the sizing diagram provided with the product or available in the BLUE SEA technical documentation for exact drilling measurements.

Yes, the BLUE SEA 187 series circuit breaker is compatible with marine electrical systems operating at 12 V DC. Its maximum supported voltage of 48 V DC makes it suitable for this application.

Yes, this circuit breaker is also compatible with marine electrical systems operating on 24 V DC. Its ability to handle up to 48 V DC makes it perfectly suited for 24 V installations.

No, the BLUE SEA 187 series circuit breaker is specifically designed for direct current (DC) applications. It must not be used to protect alternating current (AC) circuits.

This circuit breaker is particularly suited for protecting high-current intermediate circuits in marine applications, including:

Inverters.Bow thrusters.Winch systems.Main or secondary distribution lines requiring 80 A protection.

Yes, BLUE SEA Systems products, including this 187 series circuit breaker, are generally covered by a limited manufacturer's warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

The manufacturer's warranty for this BLUE SEA circuit breaker typically covers material and manufacturing defects. It ensures the product functions as intended under normal operating conditions.

The BLUE SEA 187 series circuit breaker is designed to provide reliable thermal protection for marine electrical circuits. It automatically interrupts the current in case of overload, thereby protecting equipment and cables from damage.

Its main advantage over a fuse is that it is resettable. Unlike a fuse, which must be replaced after each trip, this circuit breaker can be manually reset, simplifying the management of temporary faults aboard your vessel.

This 80 A circuit breaker is particularly suitable for protecting circuits requiring high current management in a marine environment. It is recommended for applications such as:

Inverter circuitsBow thrustersWindlassesMain distribution linesIts design allows panel mounting, ensuring clean and accessible integration in electrical panels or control consoles, and it is designed to withstand corrosion and vibration in the marine environment.
