Review on ZOOKOTO 12V 42VDC Waterproof 50A 300A Power: Durable and High-performance by Daniel Shivashankar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Clearly cheap Chinese fake

I ordered 12 pieces (always order a few more than I need when I run into a similar situation) ranging from 30 to 300 amps for my Bench-One -Solar system that powers my aquaponics through 1200w photovoltaic panels. The seller falsely claims they are waterproof as their connection points clearly don't match their own photos. While this doesn't bother me since my system is in a garage, it might annoy other customers. A 300 amp fuse blew a stud when I tightened the wire. A 150A fuse will not function properly as there is nothing internally attached to the yellow reset lever. The 30 amp fuse blew almost immediately, releasing some white smoke. When resetting and checking, the fuse resistance was in the MΩ range. The 100 amp fuse currently running in the system appears to be getting very hot with only 60 amps of current flowing through it, which worries me a bit. Given that I had issues with 4 out of 12 devices in the first 8 hours, I would recommend staying away from anything ZOOKOTO brand related.

Pros
  • UL 94V0 certified thermoplastic case
Cons
  • Some bugs
