It gives a boat a compact way to bring shore power or another 120V AC source into a single panel and split it into three protected branch circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel comes fully pre-wired with hot, neutral, and safety ground buses already in place, so the wiring layout is straightforward when replacing an older panel or adding a separate AC distribution point. A red reverse-polarity indicator helps spot wiring faults, and each circuit position has backlit labels plus an ON indicator LED, which makes the panel easier to read when cabin lighting is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 7.50 x 5.25 inches, it fits where space is limited but you still want metering and a proper AC main. The panel bus is rated at 50A, so it suits smaller 120V AC distribution setups that need a clear main disconnect and a few branch circuits without moving to a much larger panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120V AC panel layout with one 30A double-pole main breaker and three 15A single-pole branch breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in AC metering with a 0 to 150V voltmeter and a 0 to 50A ammeter with coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-wired hot, neutral, and safety ground buses reduce installation time and keep the wiring layout organized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed reverse-polarity LED gives a clear warning if shore power wiring is incorrect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacklit circuit label positions and ON indicator LEDs make circuit status easier to read underway or at the dock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50A panel bus rating supports compact 120V AC distribution systems on boats that do not need a larger branch count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional metal panel format works as an extension to an existing panel or as a full replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel is for 120V AC systems, so it belongs on boats wired for that service standard. It is a practical match when the boat needs one AC main and three branch circuits for common onboard loads such as receptacles, a battery charger, or other dedicated 120V AC equipment, provided the branch circuit planning matches the installed breaker values and the vessel’s wiring design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact face size helps when refitting a small electrical area, and the built-in meters save space compared with adding separate instruments nearby. For boats that already use Blue Sea Systems A-Series style panels, it also keeps a familiar control layout and white toggle appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fully pre-wired buses shorten the setup work because the main internal distribution is already arranged at the panel. That matters on refit jobs where access behind the helm, nav station, or electrical locker is tight and every extra termination adds time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis panel makes the most sense in a protected mounting location used for the boat’s AC distribution, where the operator can read the meters and breaker status easily. The reverse-polarity indicator and the labeled, lighted circuit positions are especially useful on boats that connect and disconnect shore power often, including cruising boats, dockside liveaboards, and boats with a small but active AC load list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC panel with pre-wired hot, neutral, and safety ground buses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 30A double-pole main circuit breaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 15A single-pole branch circuit breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC micro voltmeter, 0 to 150V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC micro ammeter, 0 to 50A, with current transformer coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic AC panel label set with 30 labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023145660597,"sku":"QBP478430","price":635.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329798_qbp478430.webp?v=1780191795","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp478430","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
