Specifications

Type
Fuse holder

This is Victron's modular fuse holder for MEGA fuses. It holds a single fuse and is one of three types of fuse holder that Victron makes. An optional busbar accessory connects several of these holders together, so a group of MEGA-fuse circuits can share a common link. Because it takes MEGA fuses only, circuits protected by ANL or MIDI fuses need a different holder.

Our take

The MEGA-fuses-only design is the first thing to check: this holder will not take ANL or MIDI fuses, so any circuit already fused that way needs a different holder. Where you do run MEGA fuses, the optional busbar lets several holders connect together.

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.
