It combines circuit protection and an on\/off switch in a single medium duty unit, making it well suited to windlass and electric winch circuits where both switching and overcurrent protection are needed in one device. A trip-free design means the switch lever cannot be held in the ON position if a fault is detected, so the circuit stays protected even if someone tries to force the switch closed. A visible lever position shows at a glance whether the breaker has tripped, simplifying troubleshooting at the panel or mounting location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe breaker is ignition protected and water resistant, allowing installation in exposed locations including the engine room of gasoline powered boats. Terminal studs are mounted on the face of the breaker for straightforward wiring access, and terminal caps are included to cover the connections, helping prevent accidental contact and cross current shorts between adjacent terminals. The 7182 is a single pole breaker housed in a compact surface mount body measuring 1.5 inches deep by 2 inches wide by 3.12 inches high, and it is backed by a five year warranty.\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 7182\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 285 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 amps DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Breaker Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard, trip-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Poles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 inches deep x 2 inches wide x 3.12 inches high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085071820\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal surface mount installation;
