xMEGA-Fuse 250A/58V for 48V Systems (1 pc) — CIP137250010
The Victron MEGA-Fuse 250A/58V is a high-current blade-style fuse designed for overcurrent protection in 48V battery systems. It is used in conjunction with a compatible MEGA fuseholder and is suited to DC circuits in solar, off-grid and marine installations where reliable, rated protection is required.
Key Features
- Rated at 250A continuous current with a maximum voltage of 58V DC, making it appropriate for 48V nominal battery banks.
- MEGA-fuse format provides a compact, bolt-down connection suitable for high-current DC applications.
- Single fuse per pack (1 pc), allowing replacement or single-circuit installation without purchasing unnecessary spares.
- Victron part number CIP137250010, compatible with Victron MEGA fuseholders designed for this fuse format.
- Lightweight at 9 grams, with a GTIN of 8719076016700 for straightforward procurement and stock management.
- Provides a sacrificial protection point in DC wiring, helping to protect inverters, battery monitors and other connected equipment from overcurrent damage.
Product Overview
MEGA-fuses are a standard format for high-current DC protection in battery-based systems. The 250A rating is commonly used on the main DC feed between a 48V battery bank and an inverter or inverter/charger, where cable runs and equipment ratings demand a clearly defined fault current limit. The 58V maximum voltage rating gives adequate headroom above the typical maximum charge voltage of a 48V lithium or lead-acid battery bank.
This fuse must be installed in a compatible MEGA fuseholder. If the CIP137250010 shows zero stock, Victron recommends ordering CIP138250020 as the alternative. Always verify the fuseholder model is rated for the same voltage and current before installation. The fuse itself is a consumable item and should be replaced like-for-like after any overcurrent event.

Installation Notes
This fuse must be fitted in a correctly rated MEGA fuseholder. Ensure the fuseholder is rated for at least 58V DC and 250A before installation. DC wiring at this current level carries significant fault energy and should be installed by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with battery-based DC systems. Always isolate the battery bank before replacing or installing fuses. Do not substitute with a fuse of a higher current rating, as this will defeat the purpose of overcurrent protection.
