Common Concerns Answered
I have more than two essential circuits; will this module be sufficient?
This BEP 24-Hour Essential Circuits Module is specifically designed for systems requiring only two protected circuits. For vessels with more extensive essential circuit needs, separate solutions or alternative modules with a higher circuit count would be necessary.
What if I need higher amperage protection for my circuits?
The BEP 706-2W module comes factory-equipped with two 10A Carling CLB Series circuit breakers. If your specific essential circuits require higher amperage, you would need to source and install compatible higher-rated breakers or consider a different module designed for those loads.
Is the push-to-reset feature a concern for accidental shut-offs?
The push-to-reset function is designed to prevent inadvertent switching off, offering a secure and reliable operation for critical systems. This feature is a key benefit appreciated by users seeking dependable protection for bilge pumps and memory circuits.
