Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to a reference to the NEC or CEC code that pertains to short circuit protection of Critical Battery Banks.
I have a critical (safety sensitive) 12VDC battery bank. The discharge current is high, nominal load at 12VDC is less then 20 Amps. Does the CEC or NEC mention that a fuse is required less then a certain voltage level? Am I allowed to let the bank operate unfused? Specifically looking for a CEC or NEC reference.
One thing I cannot have is a single point of failure (such as a fuse) preventing the bank from suppling the critical energy required.
Thanks for any feedback.
