Blue Sea Systems 7056 15 Amp Push Button Reset Only Circuit Breaker, Quick Connect Terminals
The Blue Sea Systems 7056 is a 15 amp branch circuit breaker built for marine 12/24V DC electrical systems. It uses a thermal trip mechanism with manual push-button reset only, meaning the breaker will not reset itself once tripped; the operator must press the button after the fault condition clears. Its "trip free" design cannot be held in the "ON" position during a fault current condition, which protects downstream wiring and connected equipment from continued current flow during a short or overload.
The 7056 features quick connect terminals and a compact panel-mount body, allowing it to be installed in high-density circuit protection layouts where multiple breakers are grouped together. It is a single-pole breaker rated for 32 volts DC. Because it is ignition protected, it is safe to install aboard gasoline-powered boats in accordance with ignition protection standards. The 7056 can be used as a standard branch circuit breaker or for continuous 24-hour circuit protection. It is designed to be incorporated into Blue Sea Systems WeatherDeck Waterproof Circuit Breaker Panels, Dual Battery Bank Main Distribution Panels, and 360 Distribution Panels, making it a natural replacement or add-on breaker for boat owners maintaining or expanding one of these panel systems.
