Works great as an isolator and will not trip

Used as the main fuse in a car radio, works with two 1800w amps and one 600w amp. It works great as a circuit breaker and doesn't work even at maximum current. I'll order another one when I put in my auxiliary battery, these amps I have are gluttons.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expensive

Trips to the current heat.

Capable of handling 250 amps but trips at high current temperature. My inverter/charger is charging at 80 amps max and this trips the switch connected between the battery array and the inverter. It also works when the fridge is on and the microwave is on for more than 2 minutes. None can be reliably left unattended. Trust other lower reviews. Sri

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Hard to tell

It's easy to install, but it doesn't work, so who cares?

Installed as a main fuse/breaker for my amp power cable. My amp went into protection mode. Weeks of diagnostics led me to replace it with a fuse holder and voila, no more problems. Unfortunately, I've already gone through the hassle of replacing amplifiers, subwoofers, wiring and fuses. Mmm, save yourself the trouble. Get a regular fuse

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

This is good because they can also be used as switches.

I have Xscorpion 150 and 250 amp models of this fuse. They worked and I reset them so I assume they work as expected. This is good because they can also be used as switches if needed. It's worth noting that the first time it worked it didn't reset, I thought "dass f-en" was already broken, but it takes a few minutes to "cool down" and it resets again, so do it you no stress.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Upgradeable

It looks good but the posts are too small.

250A but the eyelets for attaching the wire are very small. The intention was to run this in series from my battery to my main switch in the race car, but I use 4GA cables and unless I go out and buy a 4GA connector with a super small nose, the pins on this thing are just going to come at don't work for me. I'm not sure if they're for thin wire, but thin wire will melt if it sees 250 amps, so I have to say the design department might want to look into that.

Pros
  • datura 🔥
Cons
  • not reliable

Performance

I just installed and tested it so while I can't comment on the lifespan, here are the approximate performance specs I measured. At 250 amps I had a 0.2 volt drop and was able to run at that amperage for at least 15 seconds. With a draw of 400 amps there was a 0.3V drop and an operating time of 5 seconds. Times are tough as I couldn't pull these currents all the time. I use a breaker to connect two car batteries to two hydraulic pumps that typically draw 200 amps together and up to 400 amps at…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Quality
