Blue Sea Systems 7204 Circuit Breaker, 10 Amp Single Pole, Black, 65V DC

The Blue Sea Systems 7204 is a 10 Amp, single pole circuit breaker built for AC or DC branch circuit protection aboard a boat. Housed in black, it is part of Blue Sea Systems' traditional metal power distribution panel breaker line, rated for 65V DC operation. As a single pole breaker, it is designed for branch circuit protection rather than main circuit protection, which is the typical role of double pole breakers in this same product family.

The 7204 is a trip-free breaker, meaning the toggle cannot be held or pinned closed after the breaker has tripped on an overload -- the circuit must clear before the breaker will reset, which protects the circuit and wiring from being forced back into an unsafe condition. It mounts to a panel and is sized to fit standard Blue Sea Systems traditional metal power distribution panels alongside other breakers in the same series. At 0.17 pounds, it is a compact, panel-mounted component intended for installation by a qualified marine electrician or experienced DIY boat owner replacing or adding circuit protection to an existing panel.
