This is a pack of five Victron MEGA-fuses. Each one is rated for 500 A at 32 V, with a cold resistance of 0.1 mΩ and an approximate voltage drop of 70 mV. Both ratings, 500 A and 32 V, should be checked against the battery bank voltage and the cable size before one is fitted. With five in the pack, there are spares on hand for later.
Our take
The 0.1 mΩ cold resistance and 70 mV approximate drop mean the fuse adds only a small loss in the cable run at its 500 A rating, while the 32 V rating is the ceiling for the circuit it protects. The pack holds five.
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.
