Blue Sea Circuit Breaker 285 Series 100A

Blue Sea Circuit Breaker 285 Series 100A is a heavy-duty thermal circuit breaker that combines the functions of a fuse and a switch in one unit. It provides reliable protection against overloads and short circuits, while allowing the circuit to be quickly reset without Ropelacing any fuses. This makes it well-suited for boats, RVs, battery systems, and other high-current DC applications. When electrical systems demand high current handling and long-term reliability, the Blue Sea 285 Series 100A offers a robust and dependable solution. Its visible reset lever clearly indicates when the breaker has tripped, simplifying troubleshooting and reducing downtime. Effective protection for high-current systems With a 100A rating, this breaker is ideal for main power circuits, inverters, charging systems, electric windlasses, and other high-demand onboard consumers. Its thermal bimetal design accurately detects overload conditions and disconnects power before damage occurs to wiring or connected equipment. Circuit protection and switch in one unit The 285 Series functions as both a protective device and a manual switch. Once tripped, it can be easily reset without Ropelacing any components, reducing maintenance requirements and improving system usability. A safe choice for marine installations The ignition-protected design meets SAE J1171 requirements, making it safe for use in gasoline-powered boats. The Trip Free mechanism prevents the breaker from being held in the ON position during a fault, increasing system safety and preventing further damage. Its weather-resistant construction and wide operating temperature range ensure reliable performance in harsh marine environments.
