FAQs
What does a 400A rating mean?
The 400A rating indicates the maximum continuous current the fuse can safely carry without blowing. It is designed for high-power circuits found in EVs and Hybrids.
What is the breaking capacity of this fuse?
The breaking capacity is 20kA (kiloamperes), meaning it can safely interrupt a fault current of up to 20,000 amperes.
Is this fuse suitable for standard automotive applications?
No, this fuse is specifically designed for high-voltage EV/hybrid systems and is not intended for standard 12V automotive circuits.
What standards does this fuse conform to?
It conforms to performance standards JASOD622, environmental standards ISO8820, JASO D622, and GB/T31465. It is also CE and RoHS compliant.
How do I know if this fuse is the correct replacement?
You should replace the fuse with an identical part number (34275) and rating (400A, high voltage bolt-in style) as specified in your vehicle's service manual.
Can I use a fuse with a different amperage rating?
No, using a fuse with a different amperage rating is dangerous and can lead to component damage or fire. Always use a fuse with the exact rating specified for the application.
Troubleshooting
Fuse blows frequently
A frequently blowing fuse indicates an underlying electrical issue such as an overload, short circuit, or a failing component in the protected circuit. Do not replace with a higher-rated fuse. Diagnose and repair the root cause of the fault.
Vehicle system not powering on
Check if this fuse has blown. If so, investigate the cause of the blow. Ensure the fuse is correctly seated in its holder and that the holder terminals are clean and making good contact.
Difficulty installing the fuse
Ensure you are using the correct fuse type and that the fuse holder is compatible. Verify that the fuse is properly aligned with the mounting bolts and that they are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Always de-energize the system before installation.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of this fuse requires specialized knowledge of high-voltage automotive electrical systems. It features a bolt-in style design, meaning it must be securely fastened into a compatible fuse holder. Ensure the power source is completely de-energized before attempting any installation or replacement. Consult the vehicle's service manual for specific fuse locations and installation procedures.
Compatibility: This fuse is specifically designed for Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) applications. It is intended for use in high-voltage DC circuits and should only be used where a 400A, high breaking capacity fuse with these specific dimensions and mounting style is specified.
Care: Fuses are typically maintenance-free components. However, visual inspection for any signs of corrosion or damage to the terminals is recommended during routine vehicle maintenance. Ensure the fuse holder is clean and free of debris to maintain good electrical contact. If the fuse needs replacement, ensure the replacement is identical in rating and type.
