Hi Guys
I am starting to think about fuses
I had a look at the specs on type J -Time Delay and Type Tjs - Fast Blow
The results surprised me, I was expecting to be using a 500 or 600 amp fuse in the motor circuit to go with an OpenRevolt 500 amp controller
The specs seem to say
J -Type 200 Amp
Time to blow(sec) Current
0.01 ---------------2400
0.1 ----------------1800
1 ------------------1500
10 -----------------1100
100 ----------------500
300 ----------------400
Tjs -Type 200 Amp
Time to blow(sec) Current
0.01 ---------------2000
0.1 ----------------1300
1 ------------------1000
10 -----------------600
100 ----------------300
300 ----------------250
From this a 200 amp J Type would probably be OK for my motor - it would need 100 seconds on 500 amps to blow
The battery (100Ah TS) could be protected by a 200 amp fast blow Tjs Type as it would take 100 seconds at 3C to blow
Am I reading this correctly?
