Blue Sea 8179 AC Main (European) - 230v - 32A

The Blue Sea 8179 AC Main (European) – 230v – 32A circuit breaker is essential for reliable electrical distribution on European-spec vessels and marine installations. Designed for saltwater environments, it provides robust protection against overloads and short circuits, ensuring crew safety and equipment longevity.

This UL-listed breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that reacts quickly to dangerous current spikes while allowing harmless inrush surges during engine starts or inverter activation. Its compact design (5 x 4 x 7 inches) allows for easy mounting into panel enclosures without the need for custom brackets, and the stainless hardware ensures resistance to corrosive salt-air environments.

Ideal for cruising sailboats, commercial fishing vessels, or permanently moored cabin cruisers with shore power, the Blue Sea 8179 is a critical component for any vessel operating on European dockage or equipped with 230-volt inverters and AC distribution systems.
