Blok bezpiecznikowy Contura Blue Sea 12 V DC – biały, 6 pozycji, wodoszczelny

This circuit breaker panel is designed for power distribution, circuit protection (wires), ON/OFF switching of circuits, indication of circuit status (when energized), and, in panels equipped with meters, measurement of voltage and amperage. 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 made of 5052-H32 aluminum alloy, 0.100" thick (approx. 2.54 mm). 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, ensuring protection against powerful water jets.

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

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

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

Yes, you can replace the supplied 15 amp circuit breakers with breakers of a different rating, 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 rating 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 sealing and watertightness of the panel against the mounting surface. It must be correctly 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 shore power cable from the boat to prevent any risk of electrocution due to AC wiring near 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 supply 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 typically requires at least 8 AWG wire for a 3-meter (10-foot) length in 12V systems. Refer to the wire sizing chart provided in the documentation for other scenarios.

It is recommended to connect each yellow negative circuit branch wire 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.
