At 225A, this fuse is suited to systems where the continuous DC current draw is high, such as large inverter installations or multi-battery configurations. The 80V DC voltage rating covers the full range of standard lead-acid and lithium battery voltages up to 48V nominal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFuse sizing is critical in DC systems. An incorrectly rated fuse either fails to protect the cable under fault conditions or nuisance-trips under normal load. The 225A rating should be selected based on the cable cross-section being protected and the maximum continuous current of the connected equipment. Always refer to the cable manufacturer's current rating and the inverter or charger documentation when specifying fuse size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuying in a pack of five makes practical sense for installers working across multiple sites or commissioning larger systems where more than one fuse position is required. It also ensures a spare is available on-site during initial commissioning and fault-finding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CIP138225020\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurrent rating: 225A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoltage rating: 80V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuse type: MEGA blade fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack quantity: 5 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 45g (full pack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076061717\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMain DC overcurrent protection between battery banks and inverters or inverter\/chargers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtection of DC cabling in off-grid solar systems with 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and motorhome DC electrical systems requiring high-current fuse protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement fuses for existing MEGA fuseholder installations during servicing or fault rectification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-fuse DC distribution boards and busbar protection in commercial off-grid systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 x Victron Energy MEGA-fuse 225A\/80V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEGA-fuses must be installed in a compatible MEGA fuseholder rated for the voltage and current of the circuit. Ensure the fuseholder and connecting cables are correctly rated for 225A continuous DC current before installation. DC wiring in battery and inverter systems carries significant fault energy and should be installed by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Always isolate the battery bank before replacing or inspecting fuses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47435117363534,"sku":"CIP138225020","price":28.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/victron_fuse_80v.jpg?v=1756823570","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-mega-fuse-225a-80v-pack-of-5","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
