BLUE SEA Contura veekindel 12 V alalisvoolu 6-kohaline kaitselülitipaneel – valge

This circuit breaker panel is designed for power distribution, circuit protection (wires), ON/OFF switching of circuits, circuit status indication (when powered), and, in panels equipped with meters, voltage and amperage measurement. It is ideal for exposed marine environments where waterproofing is critical.

The overall dimensions of the panel are 114.30 x 190.50 mm (4-1/2 x 7-1/2 inches) with a depth of 69.90 mm (2-3/4 inches).

The panel is constructed from 5052-H32 aluminum alloy, 0.100" (approximately 2.54 mm) thick. It features a two-part textured polyurethane finish, UV-stabilized and corrosion-resistant, available in white.

Yes, this panel is designed to withstand water exposure typically encountered in deck applications, such as salt spray, rain, hose-downs, and brief immersions. Its front face is rated IP66, providing protection against powerful water jets.

The maximum cumulative current capacity for the entire panel is 45 amps.

This panel is a 6-position model, featuring six individual circuit breakers.

The panel is supplied with six 15-amp push-button circuit breakers, protected by waterproof caps. This rating was selected to cover the vast majority of marine circuit protection scenarios.

Yes, the Contura ON-OFF rocker switches include indicator LEDs that show the circuit state (activated).

This circuit breaker panel is white.

The LEDs integrated in the switches have a nominal lifespan of 100,000 hours at half-life.

Yes, the panel is designed for 12V or 24V DC systems. The individual switches are rated for 20A at 12V DC or 15A at 24V DC. However, the panel is supplied with 15A circuit breakers, which are suitable for 24V DC systems (maximum 15A per switch) and for 12V DC systems (where they protect up to 15A).

Yes, you can replace the supplied 15-amp circuit breakers with different amperage breakers if needed, provided you do not exceed 20 amps for 12V DC systems or 15 amps for 24V DC systems per switch. It is critical to select the correct amperage for each circuit's protection.

No, this panel must not be installed in explosive environments such as gasoline engine rooms or battery compartments, as the switches are not protected against ignition of flammable vapors.

Each switch is rated for a maximum of 20 amperes at 12V DC or 15 amperes at 24V DC.

Yes, a sealing gasket is included to ensure perfect insulation and watertightness of the panel against the mounting surface. It must be properly installed and the panel firmly screwed in place.

Yes, the panel is supplied pre-wired with quick-connect connectors to simplify the installation process.

Before starting the installation, it is imperative to disconnect the main positive cable from all batteries to eliminate any risk of short-circuit. Additionally, unplug the AC power cord from the boat's dock to prevent any risk of electrocution due to nearby AC wiring in the DC distribution panel.

You must calculate the total amperage of the circuits that will be routed through the panel. The panel’s total capacity is 45 amperes. The positive power feed wire must be sized for a 3% voltage drop at the panel’s rated capacity of 45 amperes, or at the maximum amperage that will be routed in your installation, whichever is lower. It is recommended to size the wire for the panel’s full capacity, which will typically require at least 8 AWG wire for a 3-meter (10-foot) run in 12V systems. Refer to the wire sizing chart provided in the documentation for other scenarios.

Each negative (yellow) branch circuit wire should be connected to a DC negative bus, such as the Blue Sea Systems PN 2301 BusBar or PN 2304 MiniBus.

Any Blue Sea Systems product that a customer is not satisfied with can be returned for a refund or replacement at any time.
