xMEGA-Fuse 150A/80V (Pack of 5) — CIP138150020
The Victron MEGA-fuse 150A/80V is a high-current blade-style fuse designed for DC protection in battery systems, inverters, and solar installations. Sold in a pack of five, it is suited to professional installers who need reliable overcurrent protection for cables and equipment operating at up to 80V DC.
Key Features
- 150A continuous current rating for high-load DC circuits.
- 80V DC voltage rating, compatible with 12V, 24V, 48V and higher-voltage battery systems up to 80V.
- MEGA blade-fuse format, compatible with standard MEGA fuseholders including Victron's own range.
- Provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for inverters, battery banks, and DC distribution.
- Pack of 5 fuses, practical for installation projects requiring multiple protection points or spares on site.
- Compact and lightweight at 45g per pack, easy to carry and store on site.
Product Overview
MEGA fuses are a widely used format in DC electrical systems, particularly in marine, off-grid, and vehicle applications where high currents must be safely interrupted in the event of a fault. The 150A rating makes this fuse appropriate for protecting cables and equipment connected to large battery banks or inverter inputs, where fault currents can be extremely high and must be cleared quickly to prevent fire or equipment damage.
The 80V DC rating means this fuse is suitable for use across the common battery voltages found in solar and off-grid systems: 12V, 24V, and 48V nominal systems all fall well within this limit. It is not rated for AC circuits. The MEGA format is a bolt-down blade fuse, which provides a secure, low-resistance connection compared to push-in fuse types, making it appropriate for permanent installations subject to vibration or high current cycling.
Purchasing in a pack of five is practical for installers fitting multiple circuits or systems, and ensures spares are available without needing to reorder for routine maintenance.

Installation Notes
MEGA fuses must be installed in a compatible MEGA fuseholder rated for the current and voltage of the circuit. Ensure the fuseholder and associated cabling are correctly rated for 150A continuous use. DC fuses are not interchangeable with AC fuses of the same current rating. For inverter and battery installations, a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer should carry out the work. Always isolate the battery before replacing or installing fuses.
