I read the Victron website and the Lynx shunt is rated 1000 amps and the maximum fuse is 800 amps. Not sure you need the maximum fuse as 350 amps should be fine.
Question is where is that power going? What did you just turn on when the shunt fails?
Usually a shunt is to measure power in/out of the battery so the charging system does not over charge/discharge the battery. I assume the actual shunt is burned through right?
I have a 50Amp shunt (analog meter) and I know it will open like a fuse if there is a short.
Or is this just a communication issue as said by 2oldman?
i used everything AM Solar sent me, including the 800 amp fuse.
so, the bus bar lit up once the batteries were connected and everything, it looked right. i turned the power on via one of the side by side power switches going from the inverter to the busbar. when i turned it(blue sea power switch) on, all the lights on the busbar/shunt turned off, there was a small blue spark on the pc board next to the CNN fuse in the shunt. the shunt showed up in device list for a second then gone forever. everything else works!
the fuse is fine and not blown.
