The blade-style body fits into a dedicated MEGA fuseholder and provides a clear, serviceable point of overcurrent protection on the main positive cable between the battery and the load or inverter. At 500A, this fuse is rated for 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\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80V DC rating gives adequate headroom above nominal 48V battery voltages, including lithium systems that may reach 58V or above at full charge. This makes the fuse suitable across the full range of common battery chemistries and voltages used in off-grid, marine and vehicle installations. Using the correct fuse rating for the cable cross-section and connected equipment is essential: a 500A fuse should only be used where the cable and terminals are rated to carry that current continuously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurrent rating: 500A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoltage rating: 80V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuse type: MEGA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack quantity: 5 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CIP138500020\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076061762\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack weight: 0.045 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMain battery cable protection on large 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 requiring 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\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 x Victron Energy MEGA-fuse 500A\/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 current and voltage of the application. Ensure the fuseholder, cable lugs and cable cross-section are all rated to carry 500A continuously before fitting this fuse. DC systems at these current levels carry significant energy and can cause fire or serious injury if incorrectly wired. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC battery systems. For grid-connected solar installations, work must comply with current UK wiring regulations and be carried out by a suitably qualified installer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863695589710,"sku":"CIP138500020","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_CIP138500020_-_MEGA-fuse_500A-80V_package_of_5_pcs.webp?v=1781183516","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-mega-fuse-500a-80v-pack-of-5","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
