Specifications

Type
Busbar

The Victron Energy CIP100400060 is a busbar made to tie five CIP100200100 units together. It is a tinned copper bar measuring 5 mm by 40 mm, 180 mm wide, with 8 mm terminals. The bar is rated for a maximum current of 1,500 A, so it is meant for the heavy end of a DC distribution setup rather than light branch circuits.

Our take

A tinned copper bar 5 mm thick and 40 mm deep, rated for 1,500 A maximum, gives this busbar a large current capacity for joining five CIP100200100 units. Its 8 mm terminals set the bolt size for the connections.

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.
