Blue Sea Systems 7365 Double Pole Toggle Circuit Breaker, 30 Amp, White, 120/240V AC
The Blue Sea Systems 7365 is a double pole toggle circuit breaker rated for 30 amps, designed for 120/240 Volt AC circuit protection aboard boats. It is frequently used as an AC main circuit breaker to switch both hot and neutral conductors, or two hots, in 120/240 Volt AC branch applications. Because it is a double pole design, both poles will trip together if either pole experiences a fault, ensuring the circuit is fully de-energized rather than leaving one leg live.
This breaker uses a magnetic hydraulic, trip-free mechanism, meaning it cannot be held in the ON position during a fault current condition. It is built to withstand a wide operating temperature range, from -40 F to 185 F, and is rated for 10,000 switching cycles at its rated amperage and voltage. Termination is via a 1/4 inch-20 tin-plated brass terminal stud, torqued to 35 in-lb maximum, and the breaker mounts using an included #6-32 stainless steel screw torqued to 6-8 in-lb. Finished in white, the 7365 is part of Blue Sea Systems' C-Series line of toggle circuit breakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What amperage is the Blue Sea Systems 7365 rated for? The 7365 is rated for 30 amps AC, making it suited for 120/240 Volt AC branch circuit protection.
Is the 7365 a single pole or double pole breaker? It is a double pole circuit breaker, meaning it switches two conductors, such as hot and neutral or two hots, simultaneously.
Can this breaker be used as an AC main circuit breaker? Yes, the double pole 7365 can be used as a 120/240V AC main circuit breaker to switch both lines (hots) and neutral.
What happens if only one pole of the 7365 experiences a fault? Both poles trip together. Double pole Blue Sea Systems breakers like the 7365 will trip all poles if any one pole trips.
What does 'trip-free' mean on this breaker? The 7365 uses a trip-free design, which means it cannot be held in the ON position during a fault current condition, ensuring the circuit disconnects as intended.
What is the operating temperature range of the 7365? The Blue Sea Systems 7365 operates from a minimum of -40 F (-40 C) up to a maximum of 185 F (85 C).
How is the 7365 terminated and mounted? It terminates on a 1/4 inch-20 tin-plated brass stud torqued to 35 in-lb maximum, and mounts with an included #6-32 stainless steel screw torqued to 6-8 in-lb.
How many switching cycles is the 7365 rated for? This breaker is rated for 10,000 switching cycles at its rated amperage and voltage.
What color is the Blue Sea Systems 7365? The 7365 is finished in white.
How much does the 7365 circuit breaker weigh? The Blue Sea Systems 7365 weighs 0.6 pounds.
What type of switching mechanism does the 7365 use? It uses a magnetic hydraulic, trip-free switching mechanism, part of the toggle style C-Series line from Blue Sea Systems.
What maximum voltage is the 7365 rated for? The 7365 double pole breaker carries a maximum rating of 80V DC, while its nominal AC operating voltage is 120/240V.
