Blue Sea 8589 AC Toggle Source Selector (230V) - 2 Sources + 6 Positions

The Blue Sea 8589 AC Toggle Source Selector (230V) - 2 Sources + 6 Positions is a marine-grade electrical switching component designed for RVs, boats, and off-grid solar installations where dual AC power sources must be safely isolated and managed. This selector addresses a critical safety requirement: preventing backfeeding between shore power, generator, and inverter circuits.

This 230V-rated toggle selector features a robust, sealed design that prevents accidental double-sourcing, a hazard that can damage equipment and create electrical fires. The 6-position configuration allows you to isolate either source completely, select source 1 or source 2 independently, or switch between them without dead time, depending on your wiring scheme. The toggle action is positive and tactile, eliminating ambiguity about which source is active.

Heavy-duty contacts ensure reliable switching even in demanding environments like mobile homes, campgrounds, and vessels where power transitions must be instantaneous and fail-safe. The compact footprint and UL/CSA certification make it suitable for integration into existing panels without major rewiring. This switch is ideal for users looking to manage multiple power sources safely and efficiently.
