Protect passengers and swimmers by adding an ELCI breaker panel
Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI) breaker panels protect not only everyone on your boat, but also those in the surrounding water from accidental electric shock. A ground failure in an appliance (ground fault) or a loose grounding wire (faulty ground) can create a dangerous and possibly life threatening situation. Current if leaked into the water can paralyze swimmers causing them to drown. The risk is significantly higher in fresh or brackish water.
A Blue Sea Systems assembled this panel with a C-Series ELCI main breaker that will trip if there is an imbalance in current between hot and neutral conductors caused by a faulty ground or ground fault. When installed following their guidelines, this panel and enclosure meets ABYC E-11 requirements. The water tight SMS enclosure is easy to install and features round knockouts that are compatible with included enclosure glands and seal wires entering the box. A clear cover allows easy view of circuit breaker status by a Green LED indicating breaker is in ON position and a red LED alerts user to reverse polarity. Stainless steel latch and mounting hardware secures cover and creates a water tight seal.
