Victron's MEGA-fuse comes as a package of 5 pieces, and carries an 80 V rating. It belongs to the family of ANL, MIDI and MEGA fuses that Victron sells for DC distribution. The approximate voltage drop is 110 mV and the cold resistance is 0.282 mΩ. Those are the two figures to use if you are adding up losses along a high-current battery cable run, since a fuse sits in series with the load.
Our take
The 110 mV approximate voltage drop and 0.282 mΩ cold resistance are the numbers to check when you total the losses in a heavy battery cable run. The 80 V voltage rating is printed for the fuse itself.
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.
