Specifications

Type
Busbar
Connections
8 mm terminal diameter

This Victron busbar is made of tinned copper and measures 5mm x 40mm. It is named as a busbar to connect 6 units of part CIP100200100, and its terminals have an 8 mm diameter. The maximum current is 1,500 A, and the bar is 240 mm wide overall, which is the figure to use when planning where it will sit.

Our take

The 8 mm terminal diameter is the number to match against your cable lugs, since it sets what this busbar's connections accept. The 1,500 A maximum current on a 5mm x 40mm tinned copper bar is the rating that goes with it.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.

Check before you buy:

  • On a boat subpart I covers, a continuously energized ungrounded terminal needs a boot, nipple, cap, cover or shield.
  • Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
