A pack of 5 MIDI fuses from Victron, each rated at 100 A and 32 V. They are the fuse element for a protected battery or DC feed in the MIDI size. Victron lists a cold resistance of 0.3 mΩ and an approximate voltage drop of 60 mV. Those are the figures to compare against your cable and holder when you work out a protected circuit.

Our take

The approximate voltage drop of 60 mV and cold resistance of 0.3 mΩ show the fuse itself takes very little from a 100 A feed. The 32 V rating is the ceiling for the circuit voltage, so check your system against it.

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.
