I didn't notice it being hot. It's advertised at 75A.^^ if you ran the meter at 40A for an hour and it is fine, it'll likely do equally well for much longer too, it should take much less than an hour to have it reach max temp.
Wouldn't that be dependent on the length of the wire(s)?^^ a question that comes to mind about this 75A continuous claim is that they use 8ga wires. I would have thought that 75A is too high for most 8ga wires.

We're saying the same thing I think.^ there are many different kinds of shunt circuits including bypass and protection circuits, but normally when you talk about using a "shunt" to measure a current, it means the entire current is going through the shunt resistor so you can measure the corresponding voltage and calculate the current. So, not sure what you mean.
@FrazzledHunter,I've run it at 40A for hours and hours cooled with the fan. I've used the charging watt meter on my Goal Zero 1500X mostly. 380W input to the Goal Zero equates to 40A input to the Victron 12-24/15 as measured with my watt meter.
Sure glad to. The quick answer (scenario 1 below) is this:@FrazzledHunter,
Could you share your settings on your Orion? I'm having a heck of a time to get mine running properly.

Also... I'm curious as to what your shut-down parameters are on the Orion. If I select a shutdown voltage, the Orion turns itself off. But then where there is no load, the input voltage creeps up to where the Orion turns itself back on again,
