CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Models
Circuit breakers are a standard feature on all models.
When it comes to preventing electrical faults, circuit breakers
are generally preferable to fuses. Unlike fuses, they don’t have to
be replaced after an electrical overcharge occurs. MasterCraft
therefore uses thermal circuit breakers and PDM smart breakers
for all circuits except those powering the auto bilge pumps. For
auto bilge pumps, an MDL fuse (also known as a “slow blow fuse”)
is used to prevent locked rotor short circuits.
Only some circuits may be reset from the main breaker board.
For circuits controlled by the dashboard touchscreen display,
the “Diagnostics” menu operates as a digital switchboard. All
other circuits are reset using the main breaker board. (See the
“Operation” section for more information.)
Purpose
Circuit breakers protect major circuits from damage.
Whenever an electrical issue is detected in a circuit, the breaker
will automatically “trip,” interrupting the flow of electricity.
By preventing short circuits and other electrical hazards, circuit
breakers protect onboard electrical systems from taking damage.
On MasterCraft boats, circuit breakers may be adjusted from the
main breaker board or from the digital “Diagnostics” menu on
the dash touchscreen. Both allow the operator to access various
switches which are used to reset tripped circuits.
