Re: Electrical Panel replacement

Breakers don’t provide redundancy either. If it fails the circuit is disabled. So I don’t follow your logic here. Breakers are not good switches and are not rated so.

My next project is...

Re: Electrical Panel replacement

Well anyone with a modicum of knowledge can either replace a switch or temporarily wire around it. It’s not the end of the world and the failure mode is rare to begin with.

Re: Electrical Panel replacement

I tend to avoid the cheaper thermal breakers like those shown in the picture above. My experience is they are very poor switches and many boats use the breakers as switches. I had ones on a 1988 boat...

Re: Electrical Panel replacement

Aluminium boat needs both custom bonding (In fact fully isolated zero bonding , and should in my view have a completely isolated dc system. The hull should never be part of the electrical system.

Electrical Panel replacement

Re: Electrical Panel replacement

To prevent n2k propagation you’d need all devices disconnected from each other a central nema2000 connector hub would facilitate this assuming the drop lengths remain within spec , which they will on...

Electrical Panel replacement
