Blue Sea 8380 DC Main + 22 Position

The Blue Sea 8380 DC Main + 22 Position panel is a fully pre-wired electrical distribution system purpose-built for marine, RV, off-grid, and emergency power applications requiring reliable DC circuit management. This 22-position panel combines a 100-amp main circuit breaker with sixteen 15-amp single-pole branch circuits, integrated metering, and multi-battery switching capability in a single factory-assembled unit, eliminating field wiring errors and reducing installation time significantly.

The panel ships with all positive, negative, and grounding buses pre-installed and pre-wired, along with an 8028 DC micro voltmeter for real-time voltage monitoring and an 8250 DC analog micro ammeter for load current visibility. The integrated toggle switch allows mounting of up to three separate battery banks, a critical feature for vessels, mobile bases, or off-grid installations requiring redundant power sources or parallel battery capacity. All 16 single-pole breakers are independently resettable 15-amp units rated for DC loads, with white toggle switches for clear visual status indication. The analog meters are field-upgradable, allowing users to swap metering as system requirements evolve without requiring panel replacement.

This configuration suits operators managing complex DC systems in remote or austere environments—offshore vessels, expedition vehicles, tactical command posts, or backup power installations where visual feedback and circuit-level control are non-negotiable. The pre-wired architecture eliminates the need for custom integration, meeting the demand for systems that deploy quickly without custom electrical work. The 8.3-pound panel fits standard 14 x 22-inch panel cutouts common to marine and RV installations.

Blue Sea Systems manufactures UL-listed DC electrical systems recognized throughout the marine and RV industries. The 8380 with 22 positions represents the mid-range in their integrated panel lineup, balancing comprehensive branch-circuit capacity with compact form factor for space-constrained installations.
