Blue Sea 230VAC 65A Panel 360 Rotary Source Selector Switch with Off + 2 Sources
Blue Sea 230VAC 65A Panel 360 Rotary Source Selector Switch with Off + 2 Sources
Shore & Generator AC Switching with Reverse Polarity & Power LEDs

DESCRIPTION
Safe and Reliable Dual 230V AC Power Management
Managing multiple alternating current inputs in demanding electrical environments requires robust isolation and unambiguous control. The Blue Sea 230V 65A Panel 360 Rotary Source Selector Switch provides a dedicated, heavy-duty solution for seamlessly transitioning between two separate 230V AC power supplies. Designed as part of the modular 360 Panel System, this rotary selector is engineered for marine vessels, off-grid cabins, and mobile industrial setups where switching between shore power, an onboard generator, or an inverter is routine.
When dealing with high-amperage 230V AC circuits, accidental cross-connection of live sources can lead to severe equipment damage and safety hazards. This selector switch mitigates that risk by utilising a positive-action rotary mechanism with a clearly defined 'Off' position, ensuring one power source is completely disconnected before the next is engaged.
Integrated LED Diagnostics for Enhanced Safety
Connecting to unfamiliar external power grids, such as marina shore power pedestals or temporary site generators, carries the inherent risk of faulty wiring. This panel incorporates colour-coded LED status indicators to provide immediate visual feedback before and during operation:
- Green Power-Available LEDs: Confirm that an active 230V AC supply is present at the respective input, taking the guesswork out of troubleshooting dead lines.
- Red Reverse-Polarity LEDs: Deliver an immediate visual warning if the active and neutral conductors are reversed on the incoming supply. Detecting reverse polarity early helps prevent shock hazards and protects sensitive downstream AC appliances from potential damage.
Engineered for High-Capacity AC Systems
With a substantial 65A continuous rating, this rotary source selector easily handles high-load 230V AC circuits, accommodating air conditioning units, water heaters, and high-output battery chargers without becoming a bottleneck in your power distribution panel. The heavy-duty rotary handle offers tactile, positive engagement, reducing the likelihood of partial contact or arcing common in lower-grade switching gear.
Key Features and Benefits
- Dual Source Selection with Off Position: Safely isolates and switches between two distinct 230V AC inputs, such as shore power and a generator.
- High 65A Current Rating: Supports demanding AC electrical loads across marine, RV, and industrial applications.
- Visual Polarity Protection: Integrated red LEDs alert operators to dangerous reverse-polarity conditions prior to engaging sensitive equipment.
- Live Source Confirmation: Green LEDs clearly indicate power availability at each input source.
- 360 Panel System Compatibility: Integrates cleanly into Blue Sea Systems modular enclosures for a professional, unified switchboard layout.
Ideal Applications
This AC source selector is built for installations requiring dependable manual transfer switching:
- Marine Vessels: Switching between marina shore power and an onboard marine generator.
- Large RVs and Motorhomes: Selecting between external mains hookups and high-output inverter or generator systems.
- Industrial and Commercial Vehicles: Managing mobile workstation power between site mains and auxiliary power units.
Upgrade Your AC Distribution Safety
Ensure your electrical system is protected against cross-source connection and wiring faults. Integrate the Blue Sea 230V 65A Panel 360 Rotary Source Selector Switch into your AC distribution board for reliable, clearly indicated power management.
