High Current Fuses
MEGA® and MEGA® Clear Top Fuse Rated 32V
The MEGA® Fuse is designed for high current circuit protection up to 500A with “Diffusion
Pill Technology.” The MEGA® Fuse also provides time delay characteristics. Designed and
patented by Littelfuse, the MEGA® Fuse is ideal for battery and alternator protection application
and other heavy gauge cables requiring ultra-high current protection.

1: Not mentioned in ISO standards
2: Short Circuit Protector only
3: 0298xxx.ZXB has white font color on all ratings.
4: Voltage Drop measurements for short circuit protectors taken at 75% of rated current.
The typical I2t is an average value calculated from the breaking capacity tests by using the melting time before the arcing occurs.
