Victron Energy Lynx Power In Modular DC Busbar, 4 Connections

Overview

The Victron Energy Lynx Power In is a modular DC busbar for connecting batteries to a Victron Lynx DC distribution system, with positive and negative busbars, four connection points for batteries, loads or chargers, and a ground connection. It is rated for 9 to 60 V DC systems and 1000 A DC continuous service, so it suits high-current 12 V, 24 V and 48 V battery banks often found on cruising boats, fishing boats and larger onboard inverter or charger installations.

The enclosure uses ABS, the busbars are tinned copper, and the unit measures 290 x 170 x 80 mm with an IP22 protection class. On a boat, that points to a protected electrical space rather than a wet deck or cockpit location. It helps keep heavy DC cabling organized when a battery bank, charger, inverter/charger or other DC equipment needs a clean entry point into the Lynx system.

Key features

• Positive and negative busbars in one enclosure, with four DC connection positions for batteries, loads or chargers.
• 9 to 60 V DC operating range supports common 12 V, 24 V and 48 V onboard battery systems.
• 1000 A DC continuous current rating for high-current DC distribution layouts.
• Tinned copper busbars, 8 x 30 mm, help suit the unit for low-resistance DC connections in a properly protected marine electrical compartment.
• Part of the Victron Lynx modular distribution system and can be combined with compatible Lynx modules to form a continuous positive and negative busbar.
• Does not include internal fusing, so connected batteries, loads and chargers must be protected with correctly rated external fuses.
• ABS enclosure measures 290 x 170 x 80 mm and carries an IP22 protection class for dry, sheltered mounting locations.

Variants

This product is offered in two busbar versions for matching the rest of the Lynx system.

Both versions use the same Lynx Power In format, voltage range, current rating, enclosure size and tinned copper busbar construction. The difference is the busbar interconnection size used between Lynx modules; DC cable lugs for the cable connections are M8.

• LYN020102000: Busbar M8. This version matches M8 Lynx module interconnections and uses 14 Nm torque for the M8 module and DC cable connections.
• LYN020102010: Busbar M10. This version matches M10 Lynx module interconnections; M10 interconnection nuts use 33 Nm torque, while M8 cable connections use 14 Nm.

Installation and fit

Mount the Lynx Power In in a dry battery or electrical compartment where it is protected from spray, bilge moisture, direct weather and accidental contact. The IP22 rating is useful to understand before choosing a location: this is an enclosed DC distribution component, not hardware for an exposed deck, cockpit or washdown area.

Each Lynx module can connect to other Lynx modules on the left and right. M8 Lynx modules cannot connect directly to M10 Lynx modules, so the busbar version should match the adjacent Lynx equipment already planned for the system.

Electrical and system integration

The Lynx Power In itself is unfused. It should not be treated as a replacement for a main fuse, a Class-T fuse arrangement or a fused Lynx Distributor. Battery feeds, chargers and downstream DC loads still need circuit protection sized for the voltage and current that each circuit can see.

When the system includes a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS, the batteries are placed on the left side of the Lynx system and the rest of the DC system, including loads and chargers, is placed on the right. That layout keeps battery state-of-charge measurement aligned with the current passing through the monitoring module.

Use cases on board

This unit is a good match for boats using a Victron-based DC power system where multiple battery cables or high-current DC devices need a tidy common entry point. Typical installations include house battery banks, inverter/charger systems, solar charging systems and DC distribution upgrades where a clean busbar layout is easier to service than stacked cables on battery posts.
