Reliable thermal circuit protection for marine and vehicle electrical systems.
The Blue Sea Circuit Breaker 187 Series is designed to provide reliable protection for electrical circuits in marine and vehicle applications. With a 40 Amp rating and a voltage capacity of 48 Volts DC, this thermal circuit breaker combines switching and circuit protection into a single device, ensuring safety and efficiency in electrical systems. Its robust design is waterproof and features a clear, single lever operation for easy use.
This circuit breaker is equipped with large clearance around terminal studs, allowing for the acceptance of heavy gauge wire lugs. The robust terminals ensure high torque connections, enhancing the reliability of the installation. A visible yellow reset lever indicates the open condition, while the trip free design prevents the breaker from being held 'ON' during fault current conditions, ensuring safety during operation.
Meeting SAE J1171 external ignition protection requirements, this circuit breaker is safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. The large lever can be oriented vertically or horizontally, providing clear indication of trip status, and the recessed mounting holes contribute to a clean appearance in any installation.
