Overview

The Littelfuse MEG150 is a robust 32V, 150A bolt-on box fuse designed for critical high-current circuit protection. Manufactured in the US, this fuse utilizes Littelfuse's patented Diffusion Pill Technology, ensuring reliable overcurrent protection for demanding applications. The MEGA® Fuse series, to which the MEG150 belongs, is engineered for currents up to 250 amperes, with this specific model providing a precise 150A rating. A key feature of the MEG150 is its time-delay characteristic, which prevents nuisance blowing during temporary, short-duration overloads while still offering protection against sustained overcurrent conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as battery and alternator protection, as well as other heavy-gauge cable systems that require ultra-high current protection. The bolt-on box design ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection, essential for heavy-duty electrical systems. The MEG150 is part of a broader range of MEGA® fuses available from Littelfuse, offering ratings from 80A to 500A, all featuring 32V AC/DC voltage rating and Slo-Blo® characteristics. This fuse is designed for direct connection to busbars or heavy gauge cables, providing essential safety and operational integrity for automotive, marine, and industrial electrical systems. Its advanced Diffusion Pill Technology contributes to precise and dependable operation, minimizing downtime and safeguarding valuable equipment from damage. The MEG150 (SKU: MEG150) exemplifies Littelfuse's commitment to providing dependable and advanced circuit protection solutions for heavy-duty electrical systems.
