In a vehicle's electrical system, a fuse block is used to distribute power. Although the term "automotive fuse block" is commonly used, a fuse block can be found in various vehicles, including RVs, boats, motorbikes, and any other 12V or 24V system. A fuse block is also commonly referred to as a "fuse panel."

Multiple fused circuits are provided via a fuse block, which normally has 2 to 12 spaces. These circuits can be standalone, with their own input and output wires, or they can be ganged, with power shared across all circuits. For each fuse in an independent fuse panel, two wires must be connected (one from the power source and one out to the connected device).

A ganged fuse panel requires the use of larger gauge wire to reach the panel and single wires to reach each connected device. A fused block is a great way to simplify your electrical system by not only protecting each device from short-circuiting but also clearly labelling the wires to help with narrowing down any issues that may arise while travelling. Choose from a great range of reliable products from recognised brands such as Narva and Hulk.

FAQ

Can a Fuse Block Go Bad?

Yes, it can. Corrosion, overheating, loose wires, and physical damage are common reasons. Regularly checking and maintenance can help prevent these issues.

What is the Difference Between a Fuse Box and a Fuse Block?

A fuse box is typically a larger enclosure that houses multiple fuses and other components like relays and circuit breakers. It is used in vehicles and buildings to protect and manage electrical circuits.

A fuse block is a smaller component that specifically houses fuses in a more compact and organised manner, distributing power to various circuits in a vehicle or boat. The main difference lies in their size, complexity, and the number of components they house.

What is a Blade Fuse Box?

A blade fuse box holds blade-type fuses with flat terminals. It's common in automotive and marine uses. It protects circuits by disconnecting them during faults. Blade fuses are colour-coded by amperage, making them easy to identify. The box can hold multiple fuses and often has a protective cover.
