Was trawling the Victron Live changes just now… Seems the requirement is outdated enough to remove from the wiki (as of 2 Dec 2021). Yey.

I am a sucker to test out new products…even the real cheap ones.
I picked up this HR17 fuse holder + 3 160a fuses for R450.
Anyone have any experience with them?
Do you mind sharing where you got them.
Looks like it’s rated 690VAC though. You could probably replace the fuses with DC-rated ones if it doesn’t have them already. It is also possible that it does have a DC rating that is just not listed on the page.
Yes, I see it is rated at 250V dc
Type NT00, 160 Amp high rupture capacity fuse (HRC)
Rated Amperage: 160A
Operating class: gL/gG for cable and conductor protection
DC rating:
short-circuit breaking capacity: 100 kA
voltage: 250V DC
AC rating:
short-circuit breaking capacity: 50 kA
voltage: 690V AC

Just a follow-up on the cheap battery disconnect I bought…I would not recommend it to anyone. It is complete crap. It started to overheat from the beginning (hot connection). I tried everything to save it, from changing the fuses to pinching the blade holder closed for a better connection, but nothing helped.
As the old saying goes"Goedkoop is duur koop".
