Operating current
Operating current depends on battery storage specification
Battery operation: voltage of DC link circuit decreases to the final
discharge voltage
Consider maximum current at final discharge voltage
for fuse link selection

Short circuit point (IK) When choosing fuse switch disconnector
Short circuit current depending on battery model and type consider fuse link power dissipation!
Manufacturer datasheets to include short circuit current
according to IEC896 Pd(IB) < Py
Operating point has to be in adequate distance below the curve
Short-circuit point has to be above the range of tolerance of the Power dissipation of fuse link at maximal operating current (IB):
curve Pd(IB)=(IB/In)2 x Pd(In)
IB- maximal operating current
Operating point (tE/IB) Pd(IB)-power dissipation of fuse link at maximal operating current
maximum operating curent IB has to be calculated from battery Pd(In)-power dissipation of fuse link at nominal current
storage true power and final discharge voltage UE: IB = PW/UE Py- maximal permissible fuse link power dissipation mounted in
tE is the back-up time of battery storage system fuse switch disconnector

For battery banks with parallel strings, a good practice is to include overcurrent protection for each battery
string. This minimizes the potential of the bank backfeeding a single shorted battery, which can lead to fires and
property damage.
Battery-string fusing is best accomplished with appropriately sized dc-rated fuses secured in bolt-in fuse holders
that are housed in a single enclosure. This arrangement makes it easy to isolate one battery string for testing
or maintenance while allowing the system to continue operation. Individual battery-string fuses can provide
protection against catastrophic failure in the event of major fault in the main disconnect breaker panel or
elsewhere in the battery bank. Series fuses on each battery string also reduce the available shortcircuit current
levels, allowing for the use of lower ampere interrupting current rated circuit breakers for the inverter/ charger
disconnects. Without the fuses, the amount of current that the circuit breaker has to interrupt during a fault
could potentially exceed it's rating.

Ratings for Li-ion batteries
The first set of C ratings on a Li-ion tells us how fast the battery can be discharged.
30C/60C
translates to
Burst can last for <5 seconds. To figure out how many amps this rate is, you need to know the capacity of
the battery pack. If the pack says that it has 2,3Ah, take that number before the Ah and multiply with 30
to get the number of amps. In this case, it would be 69A. That is rating of 30C for that pack.
The burst rate would then be 2,3 x 60=138A amps for less than 5 seconds.

Examples of maximum discharge current
for Lead-acid and Li-ion batteries:
A few reasons why protection of batteries with simple fuse link is not OK:
Flammable hydrogen gas is always present during battery recharging.
Hydrogen gas is potentially explosive if allowed to accumulate in a closed
area.
Prevent open flames, sparks, or electrical arcs in the battery charging area
to minimize the danger of explosion.
Breaking capacity of »fork lift fuse link« is less than 1kA at nominal
voltage!
