Bussmann CB285P-150 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Bussmann CB285P-150 breaker rated for 12V and 24V DC systems, or only 48V?
The CB285P-150 carries a 48 Vdc rating, which covers the common DC bus voltages at or below it, including 12V and 24V vehicle and marine systems. It is a DC-rated device, so don't put it on an AC branch circuit.
2) Can I use this breaker as an on/off battery disconnect switch?
Yes. The CB285P-150 is a switchable type III breaker, so the lever can be thrown manually to open the circuit for service or storage as well as tripping on overload. That's the feature that lets one device do both battery isolation and overcurrent protection on a bow thruster, winch, or inverter feed.
3) Will a Bussmann CB285P-150 hold up in an open bilge or exposed engine bay?
It's built as a waterproof, marine rated breaker, so splash and spray exposure in a bilge, engine compartment, or open truck chassis location is within what it is made for. It is also RoHS compliant if your spec calls that out.
4) How much panel space do I need to mount this 150A marine breaker?
Plan for a panel-mounted footprint of 1.9 x 1.77 x 2.91 inches (L x W x H) plus clearance for the cable lugs and lever travel. It weighs .175 lb, so it doesn't need supplementary bracing beyond the panel itself.
5) Do I need two of these to protect both the positive and negative legs?
No. The CB285P-150 is single-pole, and standard DC practice is to protect the ungrounded positive conductor only. One breaker per positive feeder is the normal install; the negative returns straight to the bus.
6) What is the exact Bussmann part number to order for the 150 amp version?
Order Bussmann CB285P-150. The CB285P series spans several amperages and the suffix is the amp rating, so the -150 is the one that gives you 150A at 48 Vdc.
7) Is this a fuse or a resettable breaker?
It's a resettable circuit breaker, not a one-time fuse. After a trip you reset it with the lever rather than replacing anything, which is why it gets used where a blade or ANL fuse would otherwise mean carrying spares.
