ENERDRIVE DOMETIC
FUSE BLOCK RECALL
Dometic Australia has initiated a recall on 1 In 6 Out and 1 In 12 Out Enerdrive Fuse Blocks.
The Problem
The product packaging has been misprinted with 'Total 100A 32V maximum - 20A maximum per circuit' instead of 'Total 50A 32V maximum - 15A maximum per circuit'. As a result the fuse block may be under-rated for certain applications and use cases. Under some circumstances if current draw through the fuse block is above 50A, it could lead to a fire, or produce soot, smoke, and melting of the fuses and fuse block.
How do I check whether I own a relevant product?
- Your fuse block will need to match one of the below product or packaging designs exactly.
The fuse blocks are identified with the following characteristics:
- 2 x Enerdrive logos on the front of the housing
- The rear of the packaging will state "Total 100A 32V maximum - 20A maximum per circuit"
- The part number on the packaging is "Part No# EA-FB-01" or "Part No# EA-FB-03"
- The model name on the packaging is "6 Way Panel Mount Fuse Block 1 in / 6 Out" or "12 Way Panel Mount Fuse Block 1 in / 12 Out"
2. Check your Fuse Block & confirm what total current in Amps (A) you are running through the fuse block
It is recommended to check your fuse block for visible signs of melting fuses or charring.
This may occur if you are continually running high loads through the fuse block, for example solar panels, and/or have continually exceeded the 50A maximum rating.
Example 1
2 x Cabin lights (1.5A each) = 1.5 x 2 = 3A
1 x Aerator = 5A
1 x Medium size Fridge (60L) = 2A
TOTAL: 10A
*For example purposes only; actual results may vary in real-world scenarios.
Example 2
2 x Cabin lights (1.5A each) = 1.5 x 2 = 3A
1 x Aerator = 5A
1 x Medium size Fridge (60L) = 2A
1 x 12V Pie Oven = 20A
1 x TV = 10A
1 x Sound System = 20A
TOTAL: 60A
*For example purposes only; actual results may vary in real-world scenarios.
