Blue Sea 285-Series 70 Amp Circuit Breaker Panel Mount

The Blue Sea Systems 285-Series Circuit Breaker, model 7085-BSS, is a reliable panel-mounted device designed to protect your electrical system with a 70 amp capacity. It features a visible reset lever that indicates when the breaker is open, providing quick visual confirmation of system status. This circuit breaker is ignition protected, meeting SAE J1171 external ignition protection standards, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats and other marine environments. Its weather-resistant construction ensures durability in harsh conditions, combining switching and circuit breaker functions into one compact unit for streamlined wiring and maintenance.

Designed as a drop-in replacement for the 185-Series, this breaker offers a thermally responsive bi-metal blade mechanism with a 3000A interrupt capacity at 48V DC, providing robust protection against overloads and short circuits. The breaker is surface mountable with M6 terminal studs that accept 1/4-inch ring terminals, and the terminal stud torque is specified at 60 in-lb to ensure secure connections. Suitable for a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, it is built for reliable performance in diverse marine and industrial applications. The trip-free design ensures the breaker cannot be held closed after tripping, enhancing safety and system protection.

Please note that this circuit breaker should not be used as a switch where high inrush currents are expected. Its rugged construction and compliance with safety standards make it an ideal choice for demanding electrical systems that require dependable protection with easy reset capability. Whether upgrading existing systems or designing new ones, the Blue Sea Systems 285-Series offers a durable and efficient solution for managing electrical circuit protection in marine and other challenging environments.
