Blue Sea Systems 5175 Terminal Fuse, 30 Amp, Light Green

The Blue Sea Systems 5175 is a 30 amp terminal fuse designed for DC main circuit protection on large battery banks aboard boats. It carries a 10,000 AIC interrupt rating at 14V DC, meeting ABYC requirements for this application, and is ignition protected so it is safe to install aboard gasoline powered boats. The fuse body is molded from plastic and is color-coded light green to identify its 30 amp rating at a glance, making it easy for installers to confirm the correct fuse is in place during service. A clear window on the housing gives a visual indication of a blown condition, so a blown fuse can be identified without removing it or using a meter.

This terminal fuse must be used with a compatible terminal fuse block, such as Blue Sea Systems PN 5191 or PN 2151 -- it should never be mounted directly to a battery terminal. This mounting method keeps overcurrent protection close to the battery bank while allowing the fuse itself to be swapped without disturbing the main cable connections. It is a common choice for protecting battery banks, inverters, and other high-current DC circuits where a compact, serviceable main fuse is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amperage is the Blue Sea Systems 5175 terminal fuse rated for? The 5175 is rated for 30 amps, identified by its light green color coding.

Can the 5175 terminal fuse be mounted directly to a battery terminal? No, the 5175 must be installed in a terminal fuse block, such as Blue Sea Systems PN 5191 or PN 2151, and should never be mounted directly to a battery terminal.

Is the 5175 terminal fuse safe for gasoline powered boats? Yes, the Blue Sea Systems 5175 is ignition protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline powered boats.

What is the interrupt rating of the 5175 fuse? It carries a 10,000 AIC interrupt rating at 14V DC, which satisfies ABYC requirements for DC main circuit protection on large battery banks.

How do I know if the 5175 fuse has blown? A clear window on the fuse housing gives a visual indication of a blown condition, so it can be checked at a glance without removing it.

What material is the 5175 terminal fuse made from? The body of the 5175 terminal fuse is made of plastic.

What are the dimensions of the 5175 terminal fuse? The 5175 measures 1.4 x 1.4 x 2.8 inches (L x W x H).

How much does the Blue Sea Systems 5175 weigh? The 5175 terminal fuse weighs 0.06 pounds.

What is the difference between the 5175 and other Blue Sea terminal fuses? The 5175 is the 30 amp, light green version of Blue Sea Systems' terminal fuse lineup; other amperages in the same series are color coded differently, such as 40A in light blue or 50A in red.

What voltage is the 5175 terminal fuse rated for? It is rated at 14 volts DC, consistent with typical marine DC battery bank systems.

What applications is the 5175 terminal fuse used for? The 30 amp 5175 is used for DC main circuit protection on large battery banks, such as protecting inverters and other high-current DC circuits close to the battery.

Does the 5175 terminal fuse come with a fuse block? No, the 5175 is the fuse only; it requires a separate terminal fuse block, such as PN 5191 or PN 2151, for installation.
