Blue Sea Systems 187-Series 80 Amp Panel Mount Circuit Breaker - Model 7042-BSS

Blue Sea 187-Series 80 Amp Circuit Breaker Panel Mount

The Blue Sea Systems 187-Series 7042-BSS is a reliable panel mount circuit breaker designed for marine and industrial applications, providing both switching and circuit protection in one compact device. With an 80-amp capacity, it is suitable for high-current circuits, ensuring safe operation and easy control. The breaker features a clear, single lever for straightforward operation and has a trip-free design that prevents the switch from being held in the ON position during fault conditions, enhancing safety and protection. Its waterproof construction makes it ideal for use in harsh environments, including aboard gasoline-powered boats, ensuring durability and consistent performance in wet conditions. The recessed mounting holes provide a clean appearance, while the large clearance around the terminal studs allows for heavy gauge wire lugs, simplifying wiring and installation. Robust 5/16-inch M8 terminals offer high torque connections, reducing the risk of loose wiring and improving overall reliability. The large lever, which can be oriented vertically or horizontally, offers quick visual indication of the trip status, facilitating easy troubleshooting and maintenance. The breaker is ignition protected, further ensuring safe operation in combustible environments. Designed with a thermally responsive bi-metal blade, it can handle a maximum voltage of 48V DC and an interrupt capacity of 5,000 amps at 12V, making it suitable for demanding electrical systems. The terminal stud torque is specified at 75 in-lb (8.47 Nm), ensuring secure connections. Overall, the Blue Sea Systems 7042-BSS circuit breaker combines safety, durability, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for marine, RV, and industrial electrical systems needing reliable circuit protection.
