{"product_id":"qbp437210","title":"Blue Sea Systems Traditional Metal AC Branch Circuit Breaker Panel, 100A, Pre-Wired, Backlit Labels, ON Indicator LEDs","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Sea Systems Traditional Metal AC Power Distribution Panel is an AC branch circuit panel range for boats that need a clean replacement panel or an extension to an existing AC distribution setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis range covers 120V AC and 230V AC systems, with 10, 13, 16, and 24-position layouts depending on the configuration. Verified configurations carry a 100A maximum panel amperage and include installed hot, neutral, and safety ground buses, so the panel arrives with the core bus work already in place for a more straightforward installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese panels suit cabin, nav station, electrical locker, or main distribution locations where AC loads such as outlets, battery chargers, water heaters, galley equipment, and onboard appliances need organized branch circuit switching. Backlit label positions and ON-indicating LEDs help the operator read circuit status at the dock, underway, or in low light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable for 120V AC and 230V AC branch circuit installations on marine AC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10, 13, 16, and 24-position configurations help match the panel to the number of AC circuits on the vessel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum panel amperage is 100A across the verified configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot, neutral, and safety ground buses are installed and fully pre-wired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacklit circuit label positions are included on standard panels, with no separate backlight kit required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eON-indicating LEDs are installed in the circuit positions for quick status checks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltmeter and no-meter layouts are available, depending on the selected configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal and vertical formats support different helm, cabin, and electrical panel layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range varies by nominal voltage, number of positions, panel format, and meter configuration. The available voltage choices are 120V AC and 230V AC. Position counts include 10, 13, 16, and 24 positions, with horizontal and vertical formats depending on the configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome versions include an integrated AC voltmeter for at-a-glance voltage monitoring, while no-meter versions keep the panel face focused on branch circuit switching and labeled circuit identification. Across the verified configurations, the panels share the same practical branch circuit purpose, pre-wired bus approach, backlit labels, ON-indicating LEDs, and 100A maximum panel amperage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel family is a strong fit for refits where an older AC breaker panel is being replaced, or for larger onboard electrical systems that need extra branch circuit capacity. The pre-wired bus arrangement helps reduce panel-side wiring time, but AC shore-power work should still be matched to the vessel wiring plan, breaker ratings, conductor sizing, and applicable marine electrical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, compare the selected variant against the available cutout area, panel orientation, voltage system, number of required branch circuits, and whether the installation needs a voltmeter on the panel face. The horizontal layouts work well where there is more width available, while the vertical layouts help in narrower panel spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 120V AC variants are suited to boats using 120V AC branch distribution, while the 230V AC variants are intended for 230V AC systems. The position count should leave room for the circuits currently installed and any near-term additions, especially on cruising boats that may add chargers, outlets, galley equipment, air conditioning, or water heating loads over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe no-meter panels are useful where voltage monitoring is handled elsewhere in the electrical system. The voltmeter versions keep AC voltage visible at the distribution panel, which is helpful when checking shore power or generator supply before bringing branch circuits online.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel range works well for cruising sailboats, powerboats, and larger refit projects where the AC distribution area needs clear circuit labeling, visible switch status, and an organized branch circuit layout. It is especially practical for owners and installers who want a traditional metal panel format rather than a modular panel system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"120V AC \/ 16 \/ Horizontal (No Meter)","offer_id":52581918376117,"sku":"QBP437210-V8","price":985.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120V AC \/ 10 \/ Vertical (Voltmeter)","offer_id":52581918408885,"sku":"QBP437210-V5","price":823.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120V AC \/ 13 \/ Horizontal (Voltmeter)","offer_id":52581918441653,"sku":"QBP437210-V3","price":1045.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120V AC \/ 24 \/ Horizontal (No Meter)","offer_id":52581918474421,"sku":"QBP437210-V9","price":1392.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120V AC \/ 13 \/ Vertical (No Meter)","offer_id":52581918507189,"sku":"QBP437210-V10","price":856.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"230V AC \/ 16 \/ Horizontal (No Meter)","offer_id":52581918539957,"sku":"QBP437210-V11","price":985.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"230V AC \/ 10 \/ Vertical (Voltmeter)","offer_id":52581918572725,"sku":"QBP437210-V12","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"230V AC \/ 13 \/ Horizontal (Voltmeter)","offer_id":52581918605493,"sku":"QBP437210-V13","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"230V AC \/ 13 \/ Vertical (No Meter)","offer_id":52581918638261,"sku":"QBP437210-V14","price":856.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1334032_qbp437210.webp?v=1780201530","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp437210","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
