Victron Energy MEGA fuse 40A-500A black 12V 24V (32V max)
Victron Energy MEGA fuses are high-current bolt-down fuses, from 40 A up to 500 A, used to protect the main battery cables of 12 V and 24 V systems. They are the standard link between battery bank, inverter and distribution busbars.
Key strengths
It protects the cable, not the load
A fuse is always sized on the cross-section of the cable it protects: it trips before the conductor reaches a dangerous temperature during a short circuit.
Bolt-down mounting
Direct screw contact on the busbar or fuse holder: no springs, no sliding contacts, minimal contact resistance even at high currents.
High breaking capacity
Designed for the short-circuit values typical of lithium and lead-acid battery banks, where fault currents quickly exceed several thousand amps.
Pack of 5 pieces
Victron supplies these fuses in packs of 5. On our site you can choose either a single piece or the full pack, at the Victron list price.
How to pick the rating
A MEGA fuse belongs on the main positive cable, as close to the battery as possible.
- Work out the maximum continuous current the cable will carry
- Pick a fuse rated above the working current but below the cable's capacity
- Check the fuse voltage rating suits the system: a 32 V fuse must not be used on a 48 V installation
- Always fit the fuse as close as possible to the battery positive terminal
