Victron Energy | Lynx Distribution System Victron Energy Lynx Distributor M10 1000A DC Busbar & Fuse Monitoring | 12V/24V/48V Systems The Victron Energy Lynx Distributor M10 is a core component of the modular Lynx DC distribution system, designed for robust and organised power management in high-current applications. This sophisticated DC busbar unit features both positive and negative busbars, providing a nominal current rating of 1000A. It is engineered to support 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems, making it versatile for various renewable energy setups. Equipped with four fuse-protected connections on the positive busbar, the Lynx Distributor includes integrated fuse monitoring capabilities. LEDs on the front panel indicate the status of each fuse, providing immediate visual feedback if a fuse blows. The negative busbar offers four connections plus a dedicated ground connection, ensuring comprehensive power distribution. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Lynx Distributor requires MEGA fuses, which are sold separately.

It can function as a standalone fused busbar or be combined with other Lynx modules to create an expandable power distribution network. Common modules for integration include the Lynx Shunt VE.Can, Lynx Power In, Lynx Class-T Power In, and Lynx Smart BMS. For its fuse detection circuit to operate, the Lynx Distributor requires a 5V DC power supply. This is typically provided by a Lynx Shunt or Lynx Smart BMS via the included RJ10 cable. If used in a standalone configuration without these modules, an external 5V (4.5V – 5.5V) DC source can be connected to the RJ10 cable to enable the fuse monitoring LEDs. Without this power, the busbar and fusing will still function, but the LED indicators will not. Typical Applications Off-Grid & Hybrid Systems Centralised DC power distribution for solar, battery, and inverter setups. Marine & Automotive Organised and protected power distribution for high-current DC loads in vehicles and boats. Industrial & Commercial Reliable power distribution for critical DC equipment and systems. Large Battery Banks Connecting multiple battery strings or high-power loads with individual fuse protection. Built-In Protection Functions The Lynx Distributor incorporates essential safety features for reliable operation: Reverse Polarity Protection for the main power connections • IP22 Protection Class for environmental resistance • Fuse Monitoring LEDs for immediate fault indication. Common Questions What type of fuses does the Lynx Distributor use? The Victron Energy Lynx Distributor is designed to hold MEGA fuses. These are not included with the unit and must be purchased separately to match the current requirements of your connected devices. Does the fuse monitoring work without other Lynx modules? Yes, the fuse monitoring LEDs can operate independently. However, the Lynx Distributor's fuse detection circuit requires a 5V DC power supply. This can be provided by a Lynx Shunt or Lynx Smart BMS, or by an external 5V DC source connected via the RJ10 cable. Can multiple Lynx Distributors be used together? Yes, multiple Lynx Distributors can be connected in series to extend the fusing and distribution busbar capacity as needed. They integrate seamlessly with other modules in the Victron Lynx distribution system. What is the difference between M8 and M10 terminals? The Lynx Distributor M10 refers to the M10 busbar connection joints used to link modules together. The fuse and cable connections on the Lynx Distributor itself are M8. Installation Notes Ensure all connections are secure and tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent loose connections and potential hazards. Always disconnect power from the battery bank before installing or servicing the Lynx Distributor. Mount the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct moisture and extreme temperatures, within its specified IP22 rating. Use appropriate cable sizes for your current loads to avoid overheating and ensure efficient power transfer. For fuse monitoring functionality, ensure the RJ10 cable is connected to a compatible Victron Lynx module or an external 5V DC power source. Before You Buy Verify the current requirements of your DC system to ensure the 1000A rating is sufficient for your application. Confirm the system voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) matches the Lynx Distributor's compatibility. Remember that MEGA fuses are required and must be purchased separately. Select fuses with appropriate current ratings for each connected circuit. Consider if you require other Victron Lynx modules (e.g., Lynx Shunt, Lynx Smart BMS) for advanced monitoring or battery management, as these integrate seamlessly.
