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.

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!

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.

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

Did you heat the cover with a hot air gun first?
@fr.lesvagues34303 ай бұрын
@@trickydicky6788 yes, but did nothing as the cover react as a heatsink
@trickydicky67883 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

Will a Bluesolar MPPT 100/30 come to part the same way,It does not have the 4 side screws. Cheers Bob.
@trickydicky67885 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 :/
@trickydicky67884 ай бұрын
Sorry I wouldn't know but I would imagine it to be a 50 or 60 amp fuse.

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 ?

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.

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
