The BLUE SEA 3-position DC distribution panel is designed for managing and protecting electrical circuits on board. Its main functions include power distribution, cable protection (circuits), switching circuits on/off, and indicating their status (live circuit).

This panel is made of 5052-H32 aluminum alloy with a thickness of 2.54 mm (0.100 inch).

The panel has a slate grey color. It features a primary chemical treatment compliant with military specification C-5541C, followed by a graphite-colored textured polyurethane two-part finish.

Yes, this panel is designed to withstand typical above-deck water exposures. This includes salt spray, rain, hose-downs, and occasional immersion.

The overall dimensions of the panel are 133.40 x 95.30 mm (5-1/4 x 3-3/4 inches).

The BLUE SEA 3-position distribution panel is designed to manage three separate circuits.

The fuse holders in this panel accept commonly available 1-1/4" x 1/4" AGC (fast-acting) and MDL (slow-acting) glass fuses.

Yes, the panel is supplied with pre-installed 15 amp AGC (fast-acting) fuses for each circuit.

Each circuit is equipped with an LED indicator integrated into the switch. This LED lights up when the circuit is powered, offering a nominal lifespan of 100,000 hours at half-life.

Yes, it is important to select a mounting location that is not an area where flammable vapors (from propane, gasoline, or lead-acid batteries) could accumulate. This panel is not protected against ignition and could ignite such vapors.

The panel must be mounted on a surface cut using the provided template. Once the opening is made, the included sealing gasket must be placed between the panel and the mounting surface. Then, the panel is firmly screwed to the surface using the provided mounting screws, after ensuring all surfaces are clean and free of debris.

The main positive power cable (red) must be sized for a 3% voltage drop at the panel’s full 45-amp capacity, or at the maximum amperage that will be routed through the panel if lower. It is recommended to size the cable for the panel’s full capacity, which in most cases will require at least an 8 AWG cable for a 12-volt system with a 3-meter (10-foot) cable run between the panel and the batteries. It is essential to protect this cable with a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker.

A 16 AWG gauge cable must be used to connect the LED (yellow) negative power cable to the DC negative bus, such as a Blue Sea Systems MiniBus PN 2304.

Yes, the panel is supplied with 30 standard labels for circuits. They can be applied to the recessed area at the front of the panel. An extended label set of 120 labels (PN 8039) can be ordered separately if the required labels are not available.

Yes, before starting the installation, it is imperative to disconnect the main positive cable from all batteries to eliminate any risk of short-circuit. You must also disconnect the AC power cord from the boat's dock to prevent any risk of electrocution due to AC wiring near the DC distribution panel.

The total cumulative capacity of this distribution panel is 45 amperes.

Yes, this distribution panel is designed to work with 12 V or 24 V DC electrical systems.

For a 12-volt system, the maximum capacity of each switch and fuse holder is 20 amperes.

For a 24-volt system, the maximum capacity of each switch and fuse holder is 15 amperes.

Any Blue Sea Systems product a customer is unsatisfied with can be returned for a refund or replacement at any time.
