Authorized Littelfuse Distributor
Littelfuse ESR1XLUB0125X - 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 ESR1XLUB0125X is a 1500 V DC, 125 A high-speed square body fuse from the Energy Storage Rack (ESR) series, engineered for critical protection in battery energy storage systems (BESS), power conversion systems, DC common bus systems, and hybrid PV-BESS inverters. This Class aBat partial range fuse delivers superior short-circuit protection with an extremely fast-acting response to a wide spectrum of fault currents, safeguarding battery modules and sensitive DC equipment. Key specifications include a high DC interrupting rating of 175 kA (UL) and 250 kA (self-certified), ensuring robust fault interruption. The low minimum breaking capacity (MBC) ranges from 300% (3x rated current) to 175 kA, covering overcurrents that traditional high-speed partial range fuses may miss. This design simplifies coordination with battery modules while reducing the size and rating requirements for DC contactors, saving space and cost. The ESR1XLUB0125X features low watt loss for maximum efficiency, minimizing energy loss and wasted power in components. Conforming to the IEC 60269-7 battery standard, it is purpose-built to protect evolving battery technologies. The compact NH 1XL size offers design flexibility and space savings. Optional blown-fuse indicators and external microswitch accessories provide visual and remote indication, reducing downtime and enhancing safety. SKU: ESR1XLUB0125X. Manufacturer: Littelfuse.
