Review on ⚡️ Enhance Electrical Safety with InstallGear 8/10 AWG AGU Fuse Holder & 80 Amp Fuse by Isaac Maze

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tested with 2 units and none of them could handle more than 25A at 12V

We have used them to power our batteries from the Victron Solar MPPT unit at 12V. The solar charger is rated at 35A, so we figured a 40A fuse would be sufficient. Unfortunately the resistance at the fuse end sockets seems to be too high and so heat begins to build up until the fuse de-solders and/or the plastic caps begin to melt. The block above took about 6 hours. The previous one lasted about 4 months. Today I switched to a Bussman 185 series jackhammer and hope it works better.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
