The Victron Energy CIP138175020 MEGA-Fuse is a high-current 175A, 80V DC bolt-down fuse designed to provide overcurrent protection for compatible battery and DC electrical systems. Its MEGA-format construction makes it suitable for higher-current DC circuits where robust, replaceable fuse protection is required.

Featuring M8 terminals, the fuse is designed for secure installation in a compatible MEGA fuse holder. The 80V DC rating supports appropriately designed low-voltage battery and DC power systems, including compatible 12V, 24V, and 48V applications. Victron Energy's current product documentation confirms CIP138175020 as the MEGA-fuse 175A/80V model. 

Package Quantity: Five (5) Victron Energy MEGA-Fuse 175A/80V fuses.

Key Technology

• 175A Current Rating
  Provides 175-amp overcurrent protection for compatible high-current DC circuits when correctly selected according to conductor ampacity and connected equipment requirements.
