This Victron Energy MEGA-fuse is rated for 60 A and 80 V, and it comes as a pack of 5 fuses. It is a fuse for protecting a DC circuit, from the maker's range of fuses and fuse holders. The maker gives a cold resistance of 1.459 mΩ and an approximate voltage drop of 135 mV. Those two figures describe the fuse's own contribution to loss in the circuit it protects.
Our take
The 135 mV approximate voltage drop is what this 60 A MEGA-fuse takes from the circuit it protects, and the 1.459 mΩ cold resistance is the figure behind it. On a boat that is the fixed cost of having it in line, alongside an 80 V voltage rating.
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.
