Hey guys,
I am currently working on a project where I am using PTC resettable fuses as a way of cutting of current to an output. However, the lithium battery that I am using trips before my fuse and thus cuts off power to my entire box. I am using a fuse with a 2 amp hold current and 4 amp trip current, the battery is good for 4.6 amps. Any idea where I am going wrong? Is the trip time too slow possibly? It has a trip time of 0.5 seconds. Hopefully someone can help!
