Blue Sea Systems 285-Series 80 Amp Surface Mount Circuit Breaker (Part #7186-BSS)

Blue Sea 285-Series 80 Amp Circuit Breaker Surface Mount

The Blue Sea Systems 285-Series Circuit Breaker, model 7186-BSS, is a reliable and compact solution designed for marine electrical systems. This 80-amp circuit breaker features a surface mount design, making installation straightforward and adaptable to various panel configurations. It is a drop-in replacement for the 185-Series circuit breakers, ensuring compatibility and ease of upgrade. The visible reset lever provides a clear indication of the open condition, enabling quick assessment of circuit status. Engineered for marine environments, this breaker is ignition protected according to SAE J1171 standards, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. Its weather-resistant construction ensures durability in harsh outdoor conditions, providing peace of mind during long voyages or challenging weather scenarios. Combining switching and circuit protection functions into a single unit, the 285-Series simplifies wiring and reduces clutter in your electrical system. The trip-free feature prevents the breaker from being held closed after a trip, enhancing safety by ensuring the circuit remains open until manually reset. This breaker employs a thermally responsive bi-metal blade to provide reliable thermal tripping at overload conditions. It is rated for a maximum voltage of 48V DC, with an interrupt capacity of 3000A at 48V, suitable for high-current applications. The terminal stud accepts 1/4-inch ring terminals and is torqued to 50 in-lb for secure connections. Operating effectively from -40°C to 85°C, this circuit breaker is built to perform in a wide range of environmental conditions. Please note that this device should not be used where high inrush currents are expected, as it combines switching and circuit protection functions. Whether upgrading existing systems or designing new ones, the Blue Sea Systems 285-Series Circuit Breaker offers dependable performance and enhanced safety for marine electrical systems.
