Blue Sea Systems 7154 Short Stop Circuit Breaker, 25A DC, Push-to-Reset, Panel or Wall Mount
The Blue Sea Systems 7154 Short Stop Circuit Breaker is a 25A DC single-pole breaker built to protect marine electrical circuits from overcurrent conditions. It operates on push-to-reset only, meaning the breaker disconnects the circuit when tripped and will not stay engaged if the fault is still present, a key safety behavior for onboard DC systems. The breaker is rated 25A DC with a maximum voltage of 28V DC and an interrupt capacity of 2500A at 28V DC, giving it the breaking capacity needed to safely clear a short circuit without failure.
Construction uses corrosion resistant materials suited to the harsh, salt-laden marine environment, and the unit ships with a red insulating boot that provides IP64 water resistance, shielding the terminal connections from dust, splashing water, and accidental contact. The breaker is a single-pole design intended for panel or wall mounting, making it suitable for direct installation into a breaker panel or as a standalone in-line protection point on a 12V or 24V DC circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What amperage is the Blue Sea Systems 7154 breaker rated for? The 7154 is rated 25A DC, with a maximum voltage of 28V DC and an interrupt capacity of 2500A at 28V DC.
Does the 7154 breaker automatically reset after tripping? No. The 7154 uses push-to-reset operation only, so it disconnects the circuit when tripped and must be manually reset by pressing the button once the fault is cleared.
Is the Blue Sea Systems 7154 waterproof? It carries an IP64 water resistance rating when fitted with its included red insulating boot, which protects against dust and splashing water.
How many poles does the 7154 circuit breaker have? The 7154 is a single-pole (1-pole) circuit breaker.
How is the Blue Sea Systems 7154 mounted? It is designed for panel or wall mounting, so it can be installed directly into a breaker panel or mounted as a standalone in-line protection point.
What is included with the 7154 circuit breaker? The 7154 ships with a red insulating boot included, which provides the IP64 water resistance rating over the terminals.
How much does the 7154 circuit breaker weigh? The Blue Sea Systems 7154 weighs 0.06 pounds.
What materials is the 7154 made from? The 7154 is constructed from corrosion resistant materials designed to withstand harsh marine environments.
Can the 7154 be used on a 12V or 24V DC boat electrical system? Yes, the 7154 is rated for DC circuits up to 28V, which covers standard 12V and 24V marine electrical systems within its 25A rating.
What is the difference between the 7154 and other Short Stop breakers in the series? The 7154 is the 25A DC version of the Blue Sea Systems Short Stop breaker line; the series also includes other amperage ratings such as 20A, 30A, 40A, and 50A DC versions, so the amperage rating is the key differentiator when selecting the correct breaker.
