Ble Sea Systems presents the 285-Series 60A Surface Mount Circuit Breaker, model 7184-BSS. It's a direct replacement for 185-Series breakers. The visible reset lever clearly shows the open condition. It's ignition protected, making it safe for gasoline-powered boats and meets SAE J1171 external ignition protection. It's weather-resistant and combines switching and circuit breaker functions in one unit (though not for high inrush current switches). It's 'Trip Free', so it can't be held closed after tripping. Specifications include 60A amperage, 48V DC max voltage, surface mount, thermally responsive bi-metal blade, 50 in-lb (5.65 Nm) terminal stud torque, 3000A interrupt capacity at 48V, -40°C min and 85°C max operating temperatures, Type III circuit breaker class, and M6 terminal studs (accepts 1/4' Ring Terminal).
Using this circuit breaker is easy. Just mount it on a surface as it's designed for surface mounting. Make sure to connect it properly according to the amperage and voltage requirements. When you see the reset lever in the open position, it means the breaker has tripped. You can reset it by following the normal reset procedure. Be careful not to use it as a switch in situations where high inrush currents are expected. In terms of maintenance, keep it clean and check for any signs of damage regularly. If you notice any issues like overheating or loose connections, it's best to replace it. Also, make sure the operating temperature stays within the -40°C to 85°C range for optimal performance.
