ST Blade 6-circuit fuse block with cover

A ST Blade fuse block is an electrical distribution device designed to centralize and protect multiple independent circuits aboard a boat. It uses blade-type fuses (ATC/ATO) for each circuit, enabling structured power management and quick identification and replacement of fuses in case of overload.

This specific model, the BLUE SEA ST Blade fuse block with cover (PN 5028), is designed to protect six independent electrical circuits. Each circuit has a slot for a blade-type fuse.

This fuse block is compatible with blade-type fuses, commonly referred to as ATC or ATO fuses. These fuses are widely available and easy to replace.

Yes, a cover is included with the ST Blade fuse block. This cover provides essential protection against water spray, dust, and accidental contact, contributing to the durability and safety of the electrical system, particularly in marine environments.

Yes, this fuse block is specifically designed for electrical installations in marine environments. Its design includes a cover to protect against water spray and accidental contact, ensuring reliability and durability in this demanding environment.

Choosing a fuse block over individual fuse holders offers several advantages. It centralizes the protection of multiple circuits in a single housing, which improves wiring organization, optimizes available space, and greatly simplifies the identification and replacement of fuses when needed.

Yes, this fuse block is certified compliant with European Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). This certification confirms the absence of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, or cadmium, with concentrations below the maximum permitted thresholds, ensuring a more environmentally friendly product.

The Blue Sea Systems ST Blade fuse block (PN 5028) is designed for use with direct current (DC) electrical systems and supports a maximum voltage of 32V DC.

Yes, the ST Blade 6-circuit fuse block is well suited for medium-sized electrical systems. It is commonly used on recreational boats or for equipment requiring electrical distribution for a moderate number of devices, such as lighting or onboard electronics.

Yes, this product is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty, Blue Sea Systems. This warranty ensures the product's compliance with specifications and its quality.

The BLUE SEA ST Blade fuse block is typically sold without fuses. This allows users to select the specific amp ratings required for each of the six circuits based on the equipment they wish to protect.

This fuse block is designed for surface mounting. It is typically secured with screws in a suitable location for electrical distribution aboard.

This fuse block is ideal for protecting a variety of electrical equipment on board, such as interior and exterior lighting, bilge pumps, VHF radios, navigation systems (GPS, depth sounder), USB chargers and other small electronic devices requiring individual protection.

Although this fuse block is specifically designed and optimized for demanding marine environments, it can be used for other DC applications requiring protected power distribution, such as in recreational vehicles (motorhomes, caravans) or certain off-grid solar systems, provided electrical specifications are met.

To check if a fuse has blown in this block, you need to inspect it visually. Blade-type fuses (ATC/ATO) typically have a small metallic filament visible through the transparent fuse body. If this filament is broken or melted, the fuse is blown and must be replaced.

The included cover with the ST Blade fuse block provides effective protection against water spray and spray, which is essential in a marine environment. However, the product is not specified as fully watertight or submersible.

This fuse block significantly contributes to onboard electrical safety by protecting each circuit individually. In the event of an overload or short circuit on a device, the corresponding fuse melts, cutting power to that circuit and preventing damage to equipment, overheating, and electrical fire hazards.

While the ST Blade fuse block is designed to simplify wiring organization, the installation of any marine electrical component must be carried out carefully. It is recommended to have basic knowledge of marine electricity or to hire a professional to ensure a correct and safe installation.

This fuse block can support a maximum current of 100 amperes (A) for the entire block. Each individual circuit is designed for a maximum current of 30 amperes (A).
