The Victron ANL fuse 500A/80V is a high-current DC protection fuse for battery systems, inverters and other high-amperage DC circuits. It comes as a pack of five, giving installers spare protection across several systems or installations.

Key features

• Current rating, 500A continuous, for high-capacity DC circuits
• Voltage rating, 80V DC, covering 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems
• Format, ANL blade-style fuse, fits standard ANL fuseholders
• Pack size, 5 fuses per pack
• Part number, CIP143500020, GTIN 8719076061793

How it works

ANL fuses are a common format for high-current DC protection in battery-based systems. The blade construction fits into a compatible ANL fuseholder, giving a clear, serviceable point of overcurrent protection between the battery bank and the load or inverter. At 500A this fuse suits large inverter installations, high-capacity battery banks and DC busbars where a fault current could otherwise cause serious damage. The 80V rating covers common battery voltages used in off-grid, marine and vehicle systems, including 48V systems running at elevated charge voltages. The fuse rating should match the cable and overall system design, not just the inverter's nominal current draw.

Applications

• DC input protection on inverters in off-grid and hybrid solar systems
• Battery bank protection in 12V, 24V and 48V installations
• DC distribution boards and busbars on boats and motorhomes
• High-current DC wiring in commercial vehicle and industrial battery systems
• Replacement fuses for existing ANL fuseholder installations

Installation note

Fit the fuse in an ANL fuseholder rated for the circuit's voltage and current, positioned as close to the battery positive terminal as practical. Connections should be clean and torqued correctly to avoid resistance heating. Installation should be carried out by someone familiar with DC battery systems.
