Lynx Class T Power In: Reliable Protection for Your System Against Short Circuits
Product Overview: Lynx Class T Power In
In this review, we take a closer look at the new product in the Lynx lineup—Lynx Class T Power In, which expands the Lynx Power series. At first glance, it may seem like you already have everything you need, including the Lynx Power In and Lynx Distributor, but this module introduces an important innovation: it contains special Class T fuses designed to protect your system from short circuits.
Why are Class T Fuses Needed?
The primary function of Class T fuses is to protect your system, especially when working with large battery systems like lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are characterized by extremely low internal resistance, which, in the event of a short circuit, can lead to extremely high currents. Standard fuses, such as mega-fuses, may not be able to handle this current flow. Class T fuses can withstand currents up to 20,000 amps, effectively isolating the battery from the system and preventing possible damage.
Design and Features
Unlike the Lynx Distributor, which has four mega-fuses, the Lynx Class T Power In is equipped with two Class T fuses. It is important to note that the fuses are not centered but are offset from where the cables are connected. This is because the Class T fuse has different size and characteristics compared to mega-fuses. This type of fuse is designed to protect against overloads and can disconnect the batteries from the system in case of serious issues such as a short circuit.
Application in Large Systems
The Lynx Class T Power In is particularly relevant for large systems that use multiple strings of lithium batteries. In such systems, a Class T fuse is required for each battery string. For example, in a 24-volt system made up of two 12-volt batteries, one Class T fuse is needed for each string. For 48-volt systems, Class T fuses are installed on each series-connected battery.
If your system includes multiple battery strings, you will need several Lynx Class T Power In modules, which can be connected together. It is important that the installation is done correctly—use a torque wrench and follow the torque values specified in the instructions.
Important Details and Upgrades
The new Lynx series has also been upgraded. Now, the entire series is equipped with M10 bolts, which increases the reliability of the connections. Additionally, the BMS rated at 500 and 1000 amps is now available with M10 bolts, making it compatible with the new standards.
Conclusion
If you are using large lithium batteries or building a system with high safety requirements, Lynx Class T Power In is what you need to ensure the safety and reliability of your setup. For more information about the product, you can leave a comment, and specialists will contact you.
