Description
Blue Sea 9093 AC Switch | Boat Supply Store
For vessels requiring sophisticated management of multiple AC power sources, this industrial-rated selector switch provides robust control. It directs two independent 120V AC shore power inputs and one 240V AC source to two distinct 120V AC load groups, switching both hot and neutral conductors for comprehensive isolation. Designed to mount in panels up to 0.16" thick, it operates reliably up to 600V AC Max, demanding separate circuit protection to ensure operational safety on larger sportfish or cruising yachts.
Key Features
- Switch between 2 - 120 Volt AC shore power sources and 1 - 240 Volt AC source to 2 - 120V AC load groups
- Switch both hot and neutral conductors for complete power control
- Compact solution for installations where circuit protection is managed externally
- Connect one of two distinct AC sources to a single circuit with ease
- Mounts securely in panels up to 0.16" (4.00mm) thick
- Heavy-duty industrial rated construction ensures longevity
- Intuitive one-hand operation for efficient use
- UL listed for assured safety and compliance

Common Concerns Answered
What are the primary drawbacks of this switch?
The main concerns are that circuit protection is not integrated, requiring separate breakers, and the wiring complexity due to the switching of both hot and neutral lines.
Is this switch sufficient for all AC power needs?
No, this switch is designed for applications where circuit protection is handled by separate components, and it specifically manages the distribution of multiple AC sources to defined load groups.
Does this switch include circuit breakers?
No, the Blue Sea 9093 switch does not include circuit protection; it must be provided separately and correctly integrated into the system.
