DESCRIPTION
Reliable Weatherproof Protection for 15A Main, Branch, and 24-Hour Circuits
Engineered for demanding marine, automotive, and off-grid electrical systems, this medium-duty 15A circuit breaker delivers dependable overcurrent protection where dedicated switching is either provided elsewhere or not required. As part of the renowned Blue Sea Systems 15A to 60A protection series, it is specifically designed for safeguarding main, branch, or continuous 24-hour circuits such as bilge pumps, stereo memory, and solar charge controllers.
Built for Harsh Marine and Off-Grid Environments
Electrical components in boats, caravans, and 4WDs are frequently exposed to moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes. Featuring a robust weatherproof construction, this unit shields internal mechanisms from the elements, significantly reducing the risk of corrosion and premature failure compared to standard commercial alternatives. Furthermore, its ignition protected rating makes it completely safe for installation in marine engine compartments and enclosed spaces where explosive fumes may be present.
Trip-Free Safety and High-Density Installation
Space is often at a premium in custom electrical cabinets and dashboards. The compact footprint and integrated metal mounting flange allow for high-density circuit protection configurations without compromising accessibility. In the event of an overload, the push-to-reset operation allows for quick manual restoration of power. Crucially, the internal mechanism features a trip-free design, meaning the breaker cannot be manually held in the ON position during an active fault current condition. This vital safety feature prevents wiring damage and mitigates fire hazards while you troubleshoot the underlying electrical issue.
Streamlined, Vibration-Resistant Termination
Working in tight electrical panels or cramped boat hulls often leads to dropped hardware and frustrating installations. To solve this common issue, the rear terminals are equipped with captive star lock washers. These integrated washers meet strict anti-rotation requirements, ensuring your ring terminals remain tightly secured against heavy vehicle or vessel vibration while eliminating the need to fumble with tiny, easily lost parts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Weatherproof Construction: Resists moisture and environmental ingress, making it ideal for exposed marine, RV, and 4WD applications.
- Ignition Protected: Safe for installation aboard petrol-powered boats and inside engine bays with potential fume build-up.
- Trip-Free Design: Enhances system safety by ensuring the circuit cannot be forced closed while a fault current persists.
- Captive Star Lock Washers: Prevents terminal rotation under vibration and simplifies installation by keeping washers attached to the studs.
- Compact Mounting Flange: Enables neat, high-density grouping in custom power distribution panels.
- Reset-Only Operation: Prevents accidental switching off of critical 24-hour loads while providing straightforward push-button recovery after a trip.
