This is a package of 5 Victron MEGA fuses, each rated for 200 A and 80 V. Cold resistance is 0.253 mΩ, and the approximate voltage drop is 110 mV. Victron also lists a fuse holder made for MEGA fuses, so a matching holder is available from the same maker.

Our take

At 200 A this MEGA fuse shows an approximate voltage drop of 110 mV on a cold resistance of 0.253 mΩ, so count that loss when sizing a heavy DC feed. The 80 V rating sets the highest voltage of the circuit it can protect.

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.
