AC Circuit Breaker Gen 2 - Bipolar 230 VAC, 5 A, standard trip delay

The Raymarine Gen 2 AC circuit breaker is a key component designed for marine power distribution systems. It is part of the G2 OctoPlex AC power distribution units from Maretron, providing circuit protection, remote on/off control, and monitoring of connected load status.

This circuit breaker is specifically designed for 230 V AC (alternating current) applications.

The rated current of this circuit breaker is 5 amperes (5 A).

This circuit breaker has a medium trip delay. This means it is designed to trip after a certain time in the event of an overload, allowing it to handle transient inrush currents without nuisance tripping.

This circuit breaker is of the double-pole type, meaning it protects both conductors of an alternating current circuit simultaneously.

This circuit breaker is a component of the OctoPlex G2-Series power distribution system by Maretron. The system uses an NMEA 2000 CAN bus network for AC and DC load control aboard.

The main functions of this circuit breaker include:

Protection of the circuit against overloads and short circuits. Remote activation and deactivation of connected loads. Monitoring of the circuit status via the OctoPlex system.

Yes, the circuit breakers used in the OctoPlex system are designed to be field-replaceable, which simplifies maintenance and any necessary replacements.

The OctoPlex G2-Series system is designed to provide several benefits:

Significant weight reduction of the cabling. Simplified installation. Increased reliability and safety through a redundant architecture that eliminates single points of failure.

Yes, this circuit breaker is an integral part of the OctoPlex system, which uses a CAN bus NMEA 2000 network for monitoring and control of AC and DC loads aboard. The system is NMEA 2000 certified (Category B).

This specific circuit breaker (reference CW2B424450110DJ) is designed for 230 V AC. The OctoPlex AC power distribution units, into which this circuit breaker fits, are compatible with European applications at 220 V and 240 V, as well as 110 V and three-phase, but the nominal voltage of this specific model remains 230 V AC.

Yes, this circuit breaker is suitable for European applications, as it is designed for 230 V AC. The OctoPlex AC power distribution units are compatible with European applications at 220V and 240V.

Yes, the OctoPlex system, of which this circuit breaker is part, supports integration with MFD manufacturers, including Garmin OneHelm™ and Raymarine® Axiom, via the MConnect web server.

This circuit breaker is directly inserted into the AC power distribution units (AC Power Distribution Units) of the OctoPlex system. These units are then connected to the NMEA 2000 network, enabling centralized control and monitoring.

No, the OctoPlex system is specifically designed to significantly reduce wiring weight and simplify installation complexity by using a CAN bus NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, it is important to note that OctoPlex products are not ignition-protected devices and must not be installed in areas with combustible vapors. Furthermore, installation must comply with American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), National Electric Code (NEC), and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.

This circuit breaker must be installed specifically in an AC power distribution unit of the OctoPlex G2-Series system.

The OctoPlex system, of which this circuit breaker is part, is certified to several important standards:

CE Approved: Compliant with the EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. IEC60533: For electrical and electronic installations on ships. IEC60945: For maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. NMEA 2000® Approved (Category B): Certified for interoperability on the NMEA 2000 network. Lloyd’s Type Approved: Certificate No. 10/00021, confirming compliance with strict maritime standards.

Yes, the OctoPlex system is designed with a redundant architecture that eliminates single points of failure. This design ensures increased reliability and safety for the entire vessel's electrical system.

Yes, Maretron products, including OctoPlex system components, are tested to the international IEC 60945 standard for marine navigation and radio communication equipment and systems. They also comply with IEC 60533 standards and hold Lloyd’s Type Approval certification, in addition to being NMEA 2000 certified.
