Fuses (over-current trip switches)

From eGrandPrix

An over-current trip is a device which automatically interrupts the electrical current in which it is installed if the level of this current exceeds a defined limit value for a specific period of time.

Fuses and circuit breakers (but never the motor circuit breaker) count as over-current trips. Extra fast electronic circuit fuses and fast fuses are appropriate. The fuses must be in an easily accessible location and as close as possible to the accumulator at both polarities.

All electrical cables inside the PTW must be protected by means of over-currents trips rated according to the diameter of the individual conductors. Over-current trips must under no circumstances replace the general circuit breaker (“Emergency Stop”).
