It is built for marine electrical systems that need reliable, heavy-duty disconnect control at the helm or in the engine compartment. The switch carries a 600 Amp continuous current rating at up to 32 Volts DC and accepts two 4\/0 AWG (95 mm2) battery cables using 1\/2 inch terminal studs, making it suitable for high-current DC circuits found on larger boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is a Grey plastic housing with copper contacts, mounted via a panel-mount rotary actuator with 2 positions (ON and OFF). The switch carries an IP66 waterproof rating and meets ISO 8846 marine switch standards, and it is ignition protected, meaning it is safe to install aboard gasoline powered boats without creating a spark ignition hazard around fuel vapors. It also meets ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) requirements for marine electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the standard Single Circuit ON-OFF version without Alternator Field Disconnect (AFD). Blue Sea Systems also offers this same switch configuration with AFD as a separate model, which protects the alternator's diodes if the switch is turned to the OFF position while the engine is still running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Circuit ON-OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Current Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Stud Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Acceptance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 4\/0 AWG (95 mm2) battery cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISO 8846\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protected:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuator Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 x 7 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085030001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Blue Sea Systems 3000 battery switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a Single Circuit ON-OFF battery switch that connects or disconnects a single battery from a single load group, giving a simple, heavy-duty disconnect point for a marine DC electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Blue Sea Systems 3000 safe to install in a gasoline powered boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 3000 switch is ignition protected, which means it is designed not to create a spark ignition source and is safe for installation aboard gasoline powered boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the current and voltage rating of the 3000 switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 3000 carries a 600 Amp continuous current rating at up to 32 Volts DC, suitable for heavy-duty marine battery circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size battery cables does the 3000 switch accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e It accepts two 4\/0 AWG (95 mm2) battery cables, terminating on 1\/2 inch terminal studs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Blue Sea Systems 3000 waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 3000 switch has an IP66 waterproof rating and meets the ISO 8846 standard for marine switches, and it also meets ABYC requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Blue Sea Systems 3000 battery switch made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is Grey plastic with copper contacts, and the switch uses a panel-mount rotary actuator with 2 positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Blue Sea Systems 3000 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 3000 battery switch weighs 1.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of the Blue Sea Systems 3000?\u003c\/strong\u003e Item dimensions for the 3000 switch are 9 x 7 x 3 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Blue Sea Systems 3000 and 3001 switches?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the 3000 and 3001 are Single Circuit ON-OFF battery switches, but the 3001 adds Alternator Field Disconnect (AFD), which protects the alternator's diodes if the switch is turned to OFF while the engine is running.
