Littelfuse ESR1XLDB0125X - The Littelfuse Energy Storage Rack (ESR) series of fuses is designed specifically to protect battery racks in energy storage systems, inverters, and many other dc applications. The 1500 V dc high-speed square body fuse is extremely fast-acting to respond quickly to a range of fault currents to safeguard the battery module or other devices. This Class aBat partial range fuse has superior short circuit protection and a low minimum breaking capacity (MBC)—from 300 % or 3 times the fuse’s rated current to 175 kA (250 kA self-certified)—to cover a range of over currents that traditional high-speed partial range fuses do not protect against. The ESR fuse safely interrupts most faults in a battery storage system to avoid catastrophic failures and costly shutdowns. Features and Benefits: High dc interrupting rating provides superior short-circuit protection and the ability to scale-up systems without the need to redesign the existing circuit protection, saving time and costs; The low minimum breaking current offers easy coordination with battery modules and reduces size and rating of dc contactors to save space and costs; Extremely fast acting delivers high-speed performance; Low watt loss maximizes efficiency by preventing energy loss and minimizing the wasted power of components; Conforming to the IEC60269-7 battery standard, the ESR series is specifically designed to safeguard evolving battery technologies with fuse circuit protection; Compact NH 1XL size saves space and offers design flexibility. Applications: Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) – Battery Protection Unit (BPU) and battery racks; Power conversion systems; Dc common bus systems; Hybrid PV-BESS inverters.

Overview

The Littelfuse ESR1XLDB0125X is a 1500V DC high-speed square body fuse from the Energy Storage Rack (ESR) series, engineered to provide superior short-circuit protection for battery racks in energy storage systems (BESS), inverters, and power conversion systems. This Class aBat partial range fuse features an extremely fast-acting response to a wide spectrum of fault currents, with a low minimum breaking capacity (MBC) ranging from 300% (3x) of the rated current up to 175 kA (250 kA self-certified). This ensures comprehensive protection against overcurrents that traditional high-speed partial range fuses may miss, preventing catastrophic failures and costly shutdowns in battery storage systems. The ESR1XLDB0125X offers a high DC interrupting rating, enabling system scalability without redesigning existing circuit protection, saving significant time and costs. Its low MBC facilitates easy coordination with battery modules and reduces the size and rating requirements for DC contactors, leading to space and cost savings. The fuse's low watt loss maximizes system efficiency by minimizing energy dissipation. Conforming to the IEC60269-7 battery standard, this fuse is specifically designed to protect evolving battery technologies. Its compact NH 1XL size offers enhanced design flexibility and space efficiency. Ideal applications include Battery Protection Units (BPUs), battery racks, power conversion systems, DC common bus systems, and hybrid PV-BESS inverters. The ESR1XLDB0125X is part of Littelfuse's POWR-SPEED® fuse family, known for reliable performance in critical DC applications. With a rated current of 125A and a voltage rating of 1500V DC, this fuse is a robust solution for modern energy storage and power conversion systems.
