y Energy Storage applications have special demanding requirements of fuses for the protection of devices downstream. The fault conditions to the input of the DC side of the converter generally have very high short circuit current capability and the inductance of the fault loop is very low, thus yielding L/R time constants that generally are 1ms or less. With the L/R being low, the rate of rise of the current di/dt is very large - meaning that very large currents are obtained in a very short time. Devices that need to be protected have a peak withstand current capability that the fuse must limit this current to - or less than - and must coordinate with the battery fuse. This requires careful analysis of the system to determine the fault loop L/R time constant along with the maximum voltage encountered, discharge current and current charging current profiles, cycles per day, and maximum ambient temperature that the fuse is exposed to, so that proper fusing can be provided.
