The MEGA-fuse 150A/80V is a Victron fuse supplied in a package of 5. Each fuse is rated for 150 A and 80 V. The maker gives an approximate voltage drop of 110 mV and a cold resistance of 0.332 mΩ. Victron lists MEGA fuses among its DC distribution fuses and holders, alongside the ANL and MIDI types.

Our take

The approximate voltage drop of 110 mV, with a cold resistance of 0.332 mΩ, is the figure to allow for where voltage at the load matters. The 150 A rating is the current it is built for.

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.
