In energy storage systems, thermal fuses and overcurrent fuses undertake different protection tasks and cannot replace each other.
Overcurrent fuses mainly protect against short circuits and excessive current. They cut off the circuit when the current exceeds the rated value, which is the most common protection component.
Thermal fuses, also known as temperature fuses, sense ambient temperature. They disconnect the circuit when the temperature rises to a dangerous level, preventing overheating and fire risks.
In energy storage battery packs, overcurrent fuses protect electrical faults, while thermal fuses prevent thermal runaway caused by high temperature.
In terms of structure and recovery, overcurrent fuses can be divided into disposable and resettable. Thermal fuses are usually one-time and need to be replaced after operation.
When designing an energy storage system, it is recommended to use both types of fuses to achieve comprehensive protection.
EssFuse provides professional overcurrent fuses and thermal fuses for energy storage systems. We can provide appropriate device selection according to your system design.
