Common Concerns Answered
Does this panel include circuit protection (breakers)?
No, this Blue Sea AC Rotary Switch Panel does not include circuit protection. It is designed to be used in conjunction with separate circuit breakers that provide overcurrent protection for each circuit.
Is the price point higher than simpler switches?
Yes, this panel may be priced higher than basic, lower-amperage switches due to its robust 65A rating, 4-pole configuration, durable construction, and integrated LED indicators for power and reverse polarity, offering advanced functionality and reliability.
What is the material of the panel?
The panel is constructed from a heavy-duty 1/8" aluminum 5052 alloy, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh marine environments, ensuring a long service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum amperage this Blue Sea AC Rotary Switch Panel can handle?
This Blue Sea AC Rotary Switch Panel is rated to handle a maximum of 65 AMP.
How many positions does this switch panel have?
The switch panel features 2 positions plus an OFF position, allowing selection between different power sources.
What voltage is this switch panel rated for?
