Victron Energy CNN Fuse, For Lynx Shunt VE.Can, 325A, 80V, 10mm

Overview

The Victron Energy CIP140325000 is a 325A, 80V CNN fuse for the Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can. It is used as the main overcurrent protection point inside a Lynx Shunt based DC distribution system, making it a practical fit for higher-current battery banks on cruising boats, workboats, fishing vessels, and off-grid marine power installations.

This fuse is rated at 325 amps and 80 volts, with a 10 mm terminal size for installation in the Lynx Shunt fuse position. The CNN format is built for stud-mounted high-current DC protection, so it is suited to the battery side of a marine electrical system where fault current needs to be interrupted before it can damage cabling, batteries, or connected equipment.

Key features

• 325A current rating for high-current DC battery and distribution circuits.
• 80V voltage rating supports common 12V, 24V, and 48V DC system architectures when properly specified for the installation.
• CNN fuse format fits the Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can fuse location.
• 10 mm terminal size matches the Lynx Shunt mounting hardware requirement.
• Useful for protecting battery cables and DC distribution equipment from overcurrent faults in a properly fused marine power system.

Compatibility and fit

This fuse is intended for use with the Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can. It should be selected as part of a complete DC protection plan that accounts for battery bank voltage, expected continuous current, cable size, cable length, and the interrupt protection required for the system.

For boat installations, the 325A rating is most relevant to larger inverter, charger, bow thruster support, house battery, and DC distribution layouts where current demand is well above small accessory circuit levels. Fuse selection should always match the weakest protected part of the circuit, not only the rating of the connected equipment.

Installation and setup

Mount the fuse only in the correct Lynx Shunt fuse position and keep all DC power isolated before installation. Terminal contact surfaces should be clean, properly seated, and tightened to the torque specified for the Lynx Shunt hardware so the connection does not run hot under sustained load.

Because this component sits in a high-current battery circuit, it should be installed where it stays protected from spray, loose tools, vibration movement, and accidental short circuits. On boats, that usually means inside a secured electrical compartment with proper cable support and covers in place after service.

Use cases on board

This fuse is a good match for vessels using a Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can as part of a monitored battery and DC distribution system. It suits installations where the owner or installer wants a clean Victron Lynx layout with a defined main fuse protecting the high-current side of the system.
