Just considering the appropriate fusing points for a large pack.
Options seem to be:
- Fusing every cell, Tesla Style (won't be doing this)
- Fusing each parallel group (i.e. PPTC fuses) (this is what I am debating doing)
- Fusing on the positive on the output/input of the entire battery (some seem to use a circuit breaker) (Luke has recommended a fast blow fuse for this elsewhere https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28601&hilit=circuit+breaker)
I realise for every fuse it also becomes a potential problem in the middle of the pack, but also increases the protection for a short within the pack itself. I will probably fuse each parallel group then the overall pack, just curious to see what others think and/or are doing.
Are blade fuses fast enough/appropriate for an overall pack fuse?
(Yes, I have already used the search function already. Most of the threads are pretty old and may be referring to old technology).
