This range is available in 250A DC and 300A DC ratings, with a flat rocker actuator and trip-free operation so the breaker cannot be held closed after a trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt combines circuit switching and overcurrent protection in one panel-mounted unit, which helps keep heavy DC load controls simple at the helm, electrical panel, or equipment space. The breaker is rated up to 48V DC, has a 5000A interrupt capacity at 48V DC, and uses 1\/4-20 tin-plated brass terminal studs for the main connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple-pole C-Series breaker for high-current DC marine circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic hydraulic, trip-free breaker action cannot be forced closed during a fault condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat rocker actuator sits flush in the ON position to reduce accidental switching around panels and equipment spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor actuator indication makes the OFF position easy to identify during checks or troubleshooting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParalleled poles use a 5\/16 in. stud on the bus for heavy-current installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated up to 48V DC with 5000A interrupt capacity at 48V DC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range from -40 C to 85 C supports use in demanding onboard locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 10,000 switching cycles for repeated service as both breaker and switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis C-Series flat rocker breaker is offered in two DC amperage configurations for different high-current loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amperage rating changes between variants. The triple-pole layout, flat rocker actuator, trip-free magnetic hydraulic breaker type, 48V DC maximum rating, 5000A interrupt capacity at 48V DC, and 1\/4-20 tin-plated brass terminal studs remain consistent across these configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7477, Amperage 250A DC. This rating suits high-current DC branches where the protected circuit and connected equipment call for a 250A breaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7554, Amperage 300A DC. This rating supports installations that require a 300A DC breaker for larger protected loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis breaker is intended for panel mounting in a dry, accessible electrical location where the rocker can be seen and reached for service. The flat actuator is helpful on crowded panels because it does not protrude when the breaker is ON, reducing the chance of a sleeve, gear bag, or service tool switching it by accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMain terminals use 1\/4-20 tin-plated brass studs with a terminal stud torque of 35 in-lb. Mounting uses 6-32 stainless steel screws with a mounting screw torque of 6 in-lb. Cable size, fuse coordination, and final breaker selection should match the equipment manual, conductor ampacity, voltage drop target, and the vessel's electrical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe breaker is a practical fit for DC power circuits feeding equipment with heavy startup and operating loads, such as inverters, bow thrusters, and windlasses. It gives the installer a single device that can isolate the circuit manually while also protecting the wiring from overcurrent conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a high-amperage protection device, it should be installed close enough to the power source and equipment layout to keep cable runs clean while still remaining reachable for reset and inspection. It is not a substitute for proper cable sizing, secure terminations, and corrosion-aware wiring practices in the surrounding installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"250A DC","offer_id":52581885739189,"sku":"QBP428134-V1","price":361.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"300A DC","offer_id":52581885771957,"sku":"QBP428134-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1333718_qbp428134.webp?v=1780201236","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp428134","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
