Using the same colored headings as in the
FUSE SELECTION CHART
(step 2), follow the columns down to find fuse holders or
fuse blocks that meet your specific requirements.
Consider environmental factors:
•
Ignition protection
is required where flammable vapors may accumulate.
Example: Engine room and propane locker
Consult American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) E-11.5.3 for Ignition Protection
Ingress protection
protects fuses from spray, washdown, and humidity.
IP66-protected against powerful water jets
Decide between an in-line fuse holder or a fuse block:
•
In-line fuse holders are compact and hold a single low-amperage fuse.
•
Fuse blocks mount to a solid surface and may hold a single fuse or multiple fuses.
