ANL fuses are the bolt-down cartridge fuses that pick up where MEGA leaves off. Two studs on 89mm centres hold the fuse to a bus bar or fuse block, and the ceramic body handles the fault currents that a plastic-bodied MEGA is not designed for. Common on alternator-to-house-battery mains, dual-battery trunk feeds, winches, and inverters above 2500W.

This range covers 150A up to 500A in the standard ANL footprint. Rated to 80V DC, so 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V systems are all covered.

Size guide

Match the fuse to the cable, not to the load. The cable is what catches fire if the current runs away, so a 200A load on a cable rated 250A takes a 200A fuse, not a 250A one.

Amperage Typical cable Common uses at 12V
150A 2 AWG / 33mm² Alternator sub-feeds, 2000W inverters
200A 1/0 AWG / 50mm² Alternator mains, 2500W inverters
250A 2/0 AWG / 70mm² Light-end winches, heavy alternator mains
300A 3/0 AWG / 85mm² Heavy winches, large inverters
500A 4/0 AWG / 107mm² Heavy-duty winches, very large inverters, high-current dual-battery mains

Standard ANL is not the right fuse to sit directly on a LiFePO4 battery. A lithium bank can push tens of thousands of amps for an instant under a bolted fault, and ANL does not carry a high enough interrupting rating to clear that safely. Use a Class T fuse on the battery side of a lithium bank, and use ANL downstream of it.

Q: What does ANL actually mean?
ANL is a bolt-down cartridge fuse format built for very high DC currents, first popularised in the marine industry. Two studs on 89mm centres hold the fuse to a bus bar or dedicated ANL holder. The ceramic body handles the heat of clearing hundreds of amps without deforming, which is why ANL is the format of choice on alternator mains, winches, and inverter feeds above 2500W.

Q: How do I pick the right amperage?
Size the fuse to the cable, not to the load. Every cable has a rated current-carrying capacity, and the fuse must blow before the cable overheats. A 200A load on 1/0 AWG cable takes a 200A fuse. A 300A load on 3/0 AWG cable takes a 300A fuse. The size guide above pairs each ANL rating with the cable it protects and the loads it typically handles at 12V.

Q: ANL vs MEGA vs Class T, which do I need?
MEGA covers 40A to 500A on a smaller footprint and is fine for most auxiliary circuits and inverters up to about 2500W. ANL covers 35A to 750A on a larger footprint with a ceramic body, and is the go-to for alternator mains, winches, and heavy inverters. Class T looks similar to ANL but carries a 20,000A interrupting rating, and is the only DC fuse rated to safely clear a LiFePO4 battery-bank short.

Q: Can I use these on a lithium battery bank?
Not as the primary battery-side fuse. LiFePO4 banks can deliver a short-circuit current of tens of thousands of amps for an instant, and ANL does not carry a high enough interrupting rating to clear that safely. Use a Class T fuse on the battery side of a lithium bank. ANL is fine downstream on individual loads.

Q: Are these time-delay fuses?
Yes. ANL cartridges are time-delay by design. The element mass takes long enough to reach melting temperature that a short inrush current (a winch pulling free of a stall, an inverter switching on, a fridge compressor starting) does not blow the fuse, but a sustained overload or short circuit still trips it well before the cable is damaged.

Q: Do I need a specific holder?
Yes, ANL needs an ANL holder or a bus bar with two studs on 89mm centres. The bolt spacing is different from MEGA (which is closer together) and MIDI (which is closer again), so the three formats are not interchangeable in the same holder. See the Related section for the twin ANL holder we pair with these fuses.

Q: What size cable do I need for a winch?
Winches typically draw 200A to 500A under load depending on the drum size and how hard they are working. A common Ozzy pairing is a 250A ANL on 2/0 AWG cable for a light-duty setup, or 300–500A ANL on 3/0 to 4/0 AWG for heavier work. Run the fuse close to the battery so the whole cable is protected, not just the far end.

Q: Can I upsize the fuse if it keeps blowing?
No. A fuse that keeps blowing is telling you the circuit is drawing more current than the cable is rated for. Upsizing the fuse defeats the point of having one and lets the cable become the fuse instead. Find the cause (a bad connection, a stalled winch, a fault to chassis) or upsize the cable and the fuse together.

Q: What voltage systems do these cover?
Rated to 80V DC, so 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V systems are all covered. That includes standard vehicle systems, larger house-battery setups, and off-grid inverters up to 48V nominal.

Q: Can I use these on 240V AC mains?
No. ANL is a DC-only fuse. 240V AC circuits need HRC fuses or RCBOs installed by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000. Elevate is EC17073 (Building & Energy WA) if you need that side of the work done properly.
