Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 7186 is a medium-duty surface mount circuit breaker designed to provide reliable circuit protection for 80-amp DC loads when both switching and overcurrent protection are required. Part of the 285 Series, this versatile device combines the functionality of a circuit breaker and switch in a single, compact unit.

Key Features:

  • 80-amp continuous rating for medium-duty DC applications
  • Trip-free operation prevents the breaker from being held closed after a trip condition occurs
  • Visible reset lever clearly indicates open/tripped condition for easy status monitoring
  • Surface mount design for straightforward installation
  • Drop-in replacement for 185-Series circuit breakers, making upgrades simple
  • Meets SAE J1171 standards for external ignition protection
  • Dual-function design eliminates the need for separate switch and breaker components

Ideal for marine, RV, and other 12V/24V DC electrical systems, this circuit breaker provides dependable overcurrent protection while serving as a convenient manual disconnect switch. The trip-free mechanism ensures safe operation by preventing manual override of the protection function. Note that this device should not be used as a switch in applications with high inrush currents, such as motor starting circuits.
