These are Victron MEGA fuses rated at 400 A and 32 V, supplied as a package of five. They protect a heavy DC feed such as a main battery cable. Victron lists a cold resistance of 0.13 milliohm and an approximate voltage drop of 70 mV for the part.

Our take

A 0.13 milliohm cold resistance and 70 mV approximate drop keep the fuse itself a small loss in a 400 A feed. The 32 V rating is the stated ceiling, so check it against the highest charging voltage your bus can see.

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.
