Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A is a central component of Victron Energy’s Lynx distribution system. It integrates a positive and negative busbar, an accurate battery monitor, and a fuse holder for the system’s main fuse. It is designed for battery monitoring and protection of the main circuit.

It is primarily used to monitor the battery status (voltage, current, state of charge) and to provide a secure location for the system's main fuse, thus ensuring DC circuit protection. It also acts as a communication interface to transmit battery data to Victron Energy GX devices.

The M10 model (this one) includes an additional busbar piece that can replace the internal fuse, offering the flexibility to place the main fuse outside the shunt. It can accommodate CNN, ANL or Mega fuses. The M8 model is specifically designed for CNN fuses only and does not offer the same flexibility for external fuse placement.

The package includes the Lynx Shunt VE.Can (model M10), two VE.Can RJ45 terminators, a temperature sensor with ferrules and terminal block, a dummy busbar piece (to replace the fuse if placed externally), a sticker with quick installation guide, and a folder with product labels.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A is designed to handle a maximum continuous current of 1000 A.

It supports system voltages of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V. Its power supply voltage range is 9 to 70 Vdc.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A has an IP22 protection rating.

It can operate within a temperature range from -40 °C to +60 °C.

No, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can is a battery monitor and a fuse block integrated into a busbar. It does not actively manage battery cells like a BMS. For lithium battery management, it is recommended to use a Lynx Smart BMS.

The case dimensions (height x width x depth) are 190 x 180 x 80 mm. The unit weighs 1.4 kg.

It communicates via VE.Can with Victron Energy GX devices, such as the Cerbo GX, Color Control GX, or Venus GX, for comprehensive monitoring and configuration. Data can then be accessed via the VRM portal.

The M10 model can accommodate CNN, ANL, or Mega type fuses. The fuse must be purchased separately.

Yes, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can can be used to monitor lithium batteries. However, for active management and protection of lithium batteries, it is recommended to use a Lynx Smart BMS, which includes a contactor and a specific battery management system.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can is a module that interconnects directly with other Lynx modules (such as the Lynx Power In or the Lynx Distributor) via their integrated busbars. The modules bolt together to create a modular and unified DC distribution system.

The M10 model offers the flexibility to install the main fuse either inside the shunt in the designated slot or outside the shunt if a higher-rated fuse is required or if space permits. A dummy busbar piece is included to replace the fuse if it is placed externally.

Yes, the main fuse (CNN, ANL or Mega for the M10 model) must be purchased separately. It is not included with the Lynx Shunt VE.Can.

The included temperature sensor connects to the Lynx Shunt VE.Can via a dedicated screw terminal block. This sensor is used to measure battery temperature.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can connects to a GX device (such as a Cerbo GX) via the VE.Can communication port using RJ45 cables. Two VE.Can RJ45 terminators are included and must be used at the ends of the VE.Can network.

No, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can does not include reverse polarity protection. It is critical to ensure correct positive and negative connections during installation to prevent damage to the device.

The Victron Energy Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A is a central component of the Lynx distribution system, designed for precise battery monitoring and main circuit protection. It integrates a positive and negative busbar, a battery monitor, and a main fuse holder.

Capacity and voltage: This model handles a continuous current of 1000 A and supports system voltages of 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V. Communication: It communicates via VE.Can with Victron Energy GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX) for full monitoring and configuration. Fuse flexibility: The M10 model is compatible with CNN, ANL, or Mega fuses (the fuse must be purchased separately). It includes a dummy busbar that allows the main fuse to be placed outside the shunt, a useful feature for systems requiring higher-rated fuses. Protection: The Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A offers IP22 protection and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C. The following items are included with the Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A:

Two VE.Can RJ45 terminators. A temperature sensor (ASS000001000) with ferrules and terminal block. A dummy busbar (busbar part) for the fuse. A sticker with a quick installation guide and a folder with product labels.
