Product Overview
MEGA fuses are a widely used format in DC power systems, particularly for protecting the main cable between a battery bank and an inverter or distribution board. At 400A, this fuse is suited to large inverter installations where cable protection at the battery terminal is a regulatory and practical requirement. The 32V rating covers both 12V and 24V nominal battery systems, which are the most common voltages in marine, vehicle and off-grid solar installations.
The MEGA fuse format uses a bolted connection rather than a push-fit blade, which provides a lower-resistance joint and greater mechanical stability under vibration. This makes it appropriate for mobile applications such as motorhomes, boats and commercial vehicles, as well as static off-grid systems. Fuses in this format are consumed items: they should be replaced after any fault event, and having spares on site is standard practice for professional installers.
This fuse is compatible with Victron MEGA fuseholders (sold separately). Always verify that the fuseholder is rated for the current and voltage of the application before installation.

Installation Notes
MEGA fuses must be installed in a compatible MEGA fuseholder rated for the application voltage and current. The fuse should be positioned as close to the battery positive terminal as practicable to provide effective short-circuit protection for the full cable run. Ensure the fuseholder connections are torqued to the manufacturer's specification to avoid resistance heating at the joint. For inverter and battery installations forming part of a solar PV system, installation by a qualified electrician is recommended. Always isolate the battery before replacing a fuse.
