The blue shmoo inside is for vibration, these are intended for mobile applications, stops the heavier components from fracturing the solder joints 👍

Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it. I can understand why it's done now.

Yep makes good reasoning!

I would solder on two cables and have an external fuse

I don't have a victron but I'm about to get one, thanks for sharing. You definitely know your way around soldering.

Very clever how you got the blown fuse off so quick! Good show!

Thank you much appreciated.

The blue stuf is just potting epoxy, just to keep large components in place and has no thermal function at all.

Nice job! Ordering a fuse now. Mine is working with temp fix.

Good stuff, I hope it all goes well.

@christopherstaples6758 3 ай бұрын

downside is now they are doing full epoxy filling to make it damn near impossible to repair now

you're lucky, I didn't manage to open mine because of the blue resin which held very tightly

Did you heat the cover with a hot air gun first?

@fr.lesvagues3430 3 ай бұрын

@@trickydicky6788 yes, but did nothing as the cover react as a heatsink

@trickydicky6788 3 ай бұрын

Yes it would act as a heat sink being cast aluminium, probably about 10 minutes heating is needed to get temperature up to 80 to 100 degrees Celsius

Takes some doing that tbf did it smell? Did it go with a pop?

No it didn't smell or go pop.

Will a Bluesolar MPPT 100/30 come to part the same way,It does not have the 4 side screws. Cheers Bob.

@trickydicky6788 5 ай бұрын

Hi Bob, sorry I don't know the answer to that. You have two choices, send it away for repairs or try heating slowly with a heat gun and gently prising the cover off. You will probably need to heat to about 80° Centigrade. Good luck Richard Ps let me know how you did.

thanks for reply. I am going to try and cut a slot around the fuse,very carefully. Bob. @@trickydicky6788

Do you know where the fuse is located on the blue solar.

@LucAdventure_ 4 ай бұрын

what kind of fuse is it for a 100/30 :/

@trickydicky6788 4 ай бұрын

Sorry I wouldn't know but I would imagine it to be a 50 or 60 amp fuse.

@raymont6191 6 ай бұрын

How did you open it?

@trickydicky6788 6 ай бұрын

Hi, I did say in the video. I heated the blue cover with a heat gun and slowly prized off the cover with a cranked pri bar, after screwing the unit down.

WHy you use this uneffective fuse ? It is slow so do not protect FETs, It is small, so it is hot. So tell me why use this uneffective solution, if we have much quicker and effective protection of circuits like this ?

@trickydicky6788 5 ай бұрын

Hi, I just fitted the exact same make and rating of fuse that victron had used, I don't know enough about it to make modifications.

Reference other youtubers work, don't take it as your own

@trickydicky6788 5 ай бұрын

Others may well of done something similar, but I have not seen anyone changing the fuse. I never said I was the only one to do this. Everything on KZfaq has been done 10 times or more, do you stick your nose in and make this comment to all of Them? I surgest you get a life.

if it was extremely expensive i could still try to send it to victron.. but they are fixable by many electronics fixers localy.. and you pay their loyality of course
