Designed to work with Blue Sea Systems terminal fuse blocks, it delivers 10,000 AIC at 14 V DC to satisfy ABYC requirements for main circuit protection on larger battery banks. The 5175 must be installed in an approved terminal fuse block (PN 5191 or PN 2151) rather than mounted directly to a battery terminal, and its clear blown indication speeds troubleshooting aboard boats, RVs, and other vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 5175 fuse protect a large battery bank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5175 provides high interrupt capacity and reliable overcurrent protection for DC main circuits.
