A modular DC busbar, with locations for four DC fuses. It will monitor the status of each fuse, and indicate its condition with a LED on the front. Part of the modular Lynx distribution system.
Fuses
MEGA fuses are utilized. It is necessary to utilize a 58/64V rated fuse in cases of 48V systems, as some MEGA fuses are only rated for 36V.
Why Fuse the Bus?
Batteries possess a unique ability to both provide and receive energy.
Power can flow from them to a load (or a fault). It can also flow to them from a charge source (eg other batteries or solar).
It is essential that when batteries are linked to a power system and the possibility of currents flowing between connections in the event of failure, robust and sufficient circuit protection is enabled - making the Lynx Distributor a necessity.
