25 A surface-mount series 285 circuit breaker

The Blue Sea 285 series circuit breaker is designed to protect marine electrical circuits from overcurrent and short circuits. It automatically interrupts the current in case of overload, preventing damage to equipment and cables.

This Blue Sea 285 series circuit breaker model has a rated current of 25 amperes (25 A). This means it is designed to protect circuits where the current does not exceed this value under normal operation.

Yes, absolutely. It is specifically designed for demanding marine environments. Its IP67 ingress protection rating ensures complete resistance to water spray and temporary immersion, guaranteeing reliability in humid conditions.

The Blue Sea 285 series circuit breaker can operate at a maximum voltage of 48 volts (48 V). It is suitable for a wide range of DC applications common on vessels, from 12 V to 48 V.

The 285 series, compared to the 187 series, is recognized as a robust solution with a design optimized for DC applications. It is often preferred for its compactness and ease of access, providing reliable protection against overcurrents.

This circuit breaker weighs approximately 0.23 kilograms.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems 285 series circuit breakers are manually resettable thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. They feature a push-button that allows you to reset the circuit after it has tripped.

The interrupting rating of this 285 series circuit breaker is 3000 A at 48 V DC. This means it can interrupt a short-circuit current up to 3000 amperes at 48 V without sustaining damage.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems circuit breakers are designed with corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long service life in saltwater and humid marine environments. Their design and IP67 rating contribute to this resistance.

This circuit breaker is designed for surface mounting. This simplifies installation on various bulkheads or panels, providing flexibility for integration into existing electrical systems or new configurations on board.

The 285 series circuit breakers typically use stud terminals for cable connections. This provides a secure and robust connection, suitable for high currents and vibrations in marine environments.

No, thanks to its IP67 ingress protection rating, this circuit breaker is already protected against water spray and temporary immersion. It does not require an additional protective housing to withstand the humid conditions of the marine environment, although installation in a sheltered location is always recommended for maximum durability.

It is essential to use cables with the appropriate cross-section for the 25 A current to avoid overheating and voltage drops. Connections must be clean, tight, and protected against corrosion. It is always recommended to consult ABYC or ISO standards for marine wiring.

Yes, it can be installed in an engine compartment, provided it is protected from excessive direct heat and is easily accessible for reset or inspection. Its IP67 rating makes it resistant to moisture and common splashes in these areas.

Yes, absolutely. While it can handle up to 48 V, it is fully compatible and commonly used in 12 V marine electrical systems, as well as 24 V and 36 V systems.

Yes, its 25 A capacity is ideal for protecting individual equipment or groups of moderate-power loads, such as bilge pumps, navigation lighting, electronic instruments, or similar devices.

Yes, the 285 series circuit breaker can replace a 25 A fuse in a circuit. The advantage is that it is resettable, eliminating the need to replace a blown fuse, providing continuous convenience and protection.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems circuit breakers are often designed to integrate seamlessly with other products from the same brand, including their distribution panels. It is recommended to check the panel specifications to ensure compatibility of dimensions and connections.
