Protecting Energy Storage Systems with Littelfuse’s PSR Fuses – A Littelfuse Case Study
Introducing Littelfuse’s PSR Fuses; high-speed semiconductor fuse protection with superior functionality and remote indication at a lower cost point and shorter lead time
A Littelfuse case study; Littelfuse’s PSR Fuses
An OEM of solar power systems was designing energy storage systems that incorporated a new, more efficient inverter. This inverter relied on a high-power insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) that operates at both high voltage and high current which, if overheated, could lead to thermal runaway, destruction, or even fire.
If the inverter failed and caused the energy storage system to be offline, it could force an electric utility to buy power at a premium to meet peak demand.
Read the story of how Littelfuse exceeded the OEM’s requirements with the PSR series of high-speed semiconductor fuses to protect the system from catastrophic failure.
Discover how high-speed semiconductor fuse protection can help power conversion systems to prevent a catastrophic failure.
