Blue Sea Circuit Breaker 285 Series 70A is a high-quality thermal circuit breaker designed to protect electrical systems from overloads and short circuits. It combines the functions of a fuse and a switch in a compact unit, simplifying installation and making onboard electrical management more efficient in boats, RVs, and other DC systems. Looking for reliable 70A overcurrent protection for demanding applications? The Blue Sea 285 Series allows you to quickly reset the circuit after a trip without Ropelacing any fuses. Its visible reset lever clearly indicates when the breaker has tripped, making troubleshooting fast and straightforward. Circuit protection and switch in one unit The 285 Series integrates automatic overcurrent protection with manual switching in a single device. After tripping, the circuit can be easily reset without Ropelacing components, reducing downtime and maintenance needs. This makes it an excellent choice for protecting battery banks, charging systems, inverters, electric motors, and other high-load DC consumers. Safe even for gasoline-powered boats The ignition-protected design meets SAE J1171 requirements, allowing safe installation even in gasoline-powered boats.
