Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ampere interrupt capacity of the Blue Sea 7365 circuit breaker?
The Blue Sea 7365 circuit breaker has an ampere interrupt capacity of 5,000A.
Can this double pole circuit breaker be used as a 120-volt AC main circuit breaker?
Yes, the Blue Sea 7365 is specifically designed and suitable for 120-volt AC main circuit breaker applications in marine vessels.
What does 'trip free design' mean for this circuit breaker?
A 'trip free design' means that the circuit breaker cannot be manually held in the 'on' position when an overcurrent or fault condition exists; it will always trip to the 'off' position, ensuring safety.
Is this circuit breaker suitable for 50 Ampere main protection on 120/240 Volt systems?
The Blue Sea 7365 is a 30A breaker for 120V AC systems and is not rated for 50 Ampere main protection on 120/240 Volt systems. You would need to consult the Blue Sea Systems catalog for a breaker rated for those specific parameters.
What is the purpose of a double pole circuit breaker in a marine electrical system?
A double pole circuit breaker is used to simultaneously interrupt both the hot and neutral conductors of a 120-volt AC circuit, providing complete isolation from the power source during an overload or fault. This is critical for safety in marine environments.
