It is intended for use by installers working with Victron systems where inrush current at connection could damage equipment or cause sparking at the battery terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimits inrush current when connecting DC equipment to a battery bank, protecting capacitors and terminals from damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with Victron inverters, inverter\/chargers and other DC-connected devices that require pre-charging before full connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.08 kg, making it easy to carry as part of a standard installation toolkit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Victron Energy accessory, manufactured to match the connection standards of Victron DC equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple to use: connect via the pre-charge cable first, allow capacitors to charge, then make the full battery connection safely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a large inverter or inverter\/charger is connected directly to a battery bank without pre-charging, the internal capacitors draw a sudden surge of current. This inrush can cause visible sparking at the terminals, trip protection devices, and in some cases damage the input circuitry of the equipment. The pre-charge cable introduces a resistive element into the circuit that limits this surge, allowing the capacitors to charge gradually before the main connection is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard step in the correct installation procedure for many Victron Multiplus, Quattro and other inverter\/charger products. Using this cable as part of the commissioning process is a straightforward way to protect equipment and follow best practice. It is a small but important part of any professional DC installation toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS070400100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076070764\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.08 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-charging inverters and inverter\/chargers (such as Victron Multiplus and Quattro) before initial battery connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommissioning off-grid and backup power systems with large DC capacitor banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and vehicle installations where safe DC connection procedures are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny Victron DC installation where inrush current protection is needed during first connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron Energy pre-charge cable (ASS070400100)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable should be used as part of the standard commissioning procedure when connecting Victron inverters or inverter\/chargers to a battery bank for the first time. Always follow Victron's installation documentation for your specific product. DC system installation, particularly at the voltages and capacities involved with inverter\/charger equipment, should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced installer. Do not attempt high-voltage or high-capacity DC connections without appropriate training and safety precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59866758054222,"sku":"ASS070400100","price":28.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_ASS070400100_-_Pre-charge_cable.webp?v=1781200435","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-pre-charge-cable","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
