AC Circuit Breaker Gen 2 - Bipolar 230 VAC, 25 A, Medium Trip Delay

The primary function of this circuit breaker is to protect AC circuits aboard your vessel. It specifically safeguards against electrical overloads and short circuits by cutting power to prevent equipment damage and ensure installation safety.

This circuit breaker is a bipolar model designed to operate on 230 VAC systems. Its rated current is 25 A and it has a medium trip delay.

A double-pole circuit breaker provides simultaneous disconnection of both poles (phase and neutral or both phases in certain systems) of a circuit. For a 230 VAC installation, this ensures enhanced safety by completely isolating the circuit in case of a fault, thereby preventing any risk of electric shock or damage.

The "average tripping time" indicates that the circuit breaker is designed to react to an overload or short circuit within a moderate time frame. This makes it suitable for a wide range of marine applications where a quick shutdown is required without being excessively sensitive to normal transient current spikes.
