Blue Sea Systems 7200 AA1 Toggle Circuit Breaker, 5 Amp, Single Pole, Black

The Blue Sea Systems 7200 is a 5 Amp single pole AA1 toggle circuit breaker built for marine DC and AC electrical systems. It combines manual on/off switching with automatic overcurrent protection in one compact device, letting installers eliminate a separate switch and fuse or breaker in the same circuit. The breaker uses a magnetic hydraulic trip-free mechanism, meaning the toggle cannot be held or taped closed to bypass a trip condition, which keeps the circuit protected even under a fault. The black toggle housing is rated for 65 Volts DC and 250 Volts AC, and the breaker is built to operate across a wide temperature range, from -40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for exposed helm stations, engine compartments, and other demanding onboard locations. Blue Sea Systems rates the internal contacts for 10,000 switching cycles at the breaker's rated amperage and voltage, supporting long service life as a everyday on/off switch as well as a protective device. Mounting screws are included, so the breaker is ready to install into a panel or bulkhead cutout without sourcing separate hardware. As a single pole breaker, the 7200 is intended for branch circuit protection on an individual positive or hot lead rather than for switching both legs of an AC main. Because the AA1 series is also offered in additional amperages, colors, and pole configurations, the 5 Amp black single pole 7200 is the correct choice specifically for lower-draw DC or AC branch circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Blue Sea Systems 7200 circuit breaker rated for? The 7200 is a 5 Amp single pole circuit breaker rated for 65 Volts DC and 250 Volts AC.

Is the 7200 a single pole or double pole breaker? It is a single pole breaker, meaning it switches and protects one circuit leg rather than both legs of an AC main.

What does trip free mean on the Blue Sea Systems 7200? Trip free means the toggle on the 7200 cannot be manually held or taped in the closed position to override a trip, so the circuit stays disconnected when a fault occurs.

What type of breaker mechanism does the 7200 use? The 7200 uses a magnetic hydraulic, trip-free mechanism rather than a thermal element, which keeps trip performance consistent across temperature swings.

Does the Blue Sea Systems 7200 come with mounting hardware? Yes, mounting screws are included with the 7200 so it can be installed into a panel or bulkhead cutout without sourcing separate hardware.

How much does the 7200 circuit breaker weigh? The Blue Sea Systems 7200 weighs 0.17 pounds.

What color is the 7200 breaker? The 7200 has a black toggle housing.

What temperature range can the 7200 operate in? It operates from -40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for exposed marine locations.

How many switching cycles is the 7200 rated for? Blue Sea Systems rates the 7200 for 10,000 switching cycles at its rated amperage and voltage.

Can the 7200 be used on both DC and AC circuits? Yes, the 7200 is rated for 65 Volts DC as well as 250 Volts AC circuits.

Does the 7200 act as both a switch and a breaker? Yes, the 7200 combines manual on/off toggle switching with automatic overcurrent protection in a single device.

Is the 7200 the right choice for a higher amperage circuit? No, the 7200 is rated for 5 Amps; higher-draw circuits require a higher amperage breaker from the AA1 series rather than the 7200.
