The blade-style body fits into a dedicated MEGA fuseholder, giving a serviceable point of overcurrent protection on the main positive cable between battery and load or inverter. At 500A, this fuse suits the highest-draw DC equipment, including large Victron Quattro and MultiPlus inverter\/chargers where cable protection at the battery terminals is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 80V DC rating gives headroom above nominal 48V battery voltages, including lithium systems that may reach 58V or higher at full charge. This suits the fuse to common battery chemistries and voltages used in off-grid, marine and vehicle installations. The cable cross-section, terminals and fuseholder must all be rated to carry 500A continuously before fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain battery cable protection on off-grid solar systems with high-capacity inverters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvercurrent protection on 12V, 24V and 48V lithium and lead-acid battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine DC systems needing high-current fusing on the main positive feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle and motorhome conversions with large inverter or winch installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC busbar protection in multi-battery or parallel battery configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5 x Victron Energy MEGA-fuse 500A\/80V\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit only into a compatible MEGA fuseholder rated for the current and voltage of the application. DC systems at these current levels carry significant energy and can cause fire or injury if wired incorrectly. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced DC system integrator, and grid-connected solar work must comply with current UK wiring regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095399428384,"sku":"CIP138500020","price":30.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-cip138500020-1.webp?v=1785748975","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-mega-fuse-500a-pack-5","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
