Blue Sea Systems 285-Series 50 Amp Panel Mount Circuit Breaker (Part No. 7083-BSS)

Blue Sea 285-Series 50 Amp Circuit Breaker Panel Mount

The Blue Sea Systems 285-Series 50 Amp Circuit Breaker (Part No. 7083-BSS) offers a reliable and compact solution for marine electrical systems. Designed as a drop-in replacement for the 185-Series circuit breakers, this panel mount breaker simplifies upgrades and maintenance. Its weather-resistant construction makes it suitable for demanding marine environments, while the visible reset lever provides an easy way to identify open circuits and reset the breaker when necessary. This breaker is ignition protected and meets SAE J1171 external ignition protection standards, ensuring safe installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. Combining switching and circuit breaker functionalities into a single unit, it enhances space efficiency without compromising safety. The trip-free feature prevents the breaker from being held closed after tripping, promoting safe operation during fault conditions. Note that it should not be used as a switch where high inrush currents are expected, but it is ideal for typical marine circuit protection.

Built with a thermally responsive bi-metal blade, this breaker handles up to 50 amps at a maximum voltage of 48V DC. It employs a surface mount design for straightforward installation and features M6 terminal studs accepting 1/4 inch ring terminals. The terminal stud torque is specified at 60 inch-pounds, ensuring a secure connection. Its interrupt capacity of 3000 amps at 48V provides an extra margin of safety for protecting electrical circuits. Operating effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, the Blue Sea 285-Series breaker is engineered for durability across diverse marine conditions. It adheres to Type III circuit breaker standards, with a manual reset and switchable functionality for versatile circuit management. When installing, ensure proper torque on terminal studs to maintain reliable performance. This circuit breaker is an essential component for marine electrical systems requiring dependable circuit protection in a compact, weather-resistant package.
