The Megafuse has an ICU of 1000A at 58V and is therefore not suitable.

Wenn es dir um den Kurzschlussstrom des Akku geht (Pylontech schreibt für die 100Ah Modelle von einem anzunehmendem Kurzschlussstrom von 2500A, bei 560Ah würde ich also sicherheitshalber mit 6x 2500A also 15kA rechnen. Der Einfachheit halber würde ich an dem Punkt eine NH Halterung mit einer NH2 Sicherung nehmen (relativ niedrige Kosten bei >100kA Kurzschlusslöschvermögen (ggf kannst du in einer NH2 Halterung sogar spezielle PV Sicherungen für DC einsetzen -> Charkteristik gPV)

What is the internal resistance of your lifepo4 system?
To properly open the short circuit current of the cell.

You don't need to go the overkill-way of using NH1-fuses. Their holders are massive.

As a fuse is the last instance when all other safety-features have failed, have a look at the product-range of Littelfuse

There is a selection which will fit your needs.

Best,
