1 LOW VOLTAGE FUSES
2 Part 7: Supplementary Requirements for fuse-links for the protection of batteries and battery systems
4 FOREWORD
6   1)  The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
7     all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
8     international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
9     this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
10    Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
11    Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
12    in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non17
13    governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
14    with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
15    agreement between the two organizations.
16      2)  The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
17            consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
18            interested IEC National Committees.
19      3)  IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
20   Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
21   Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
22   misinterpretation by any end user.
23     4)  In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
24    transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
25           between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
26           the latter.
27      5)  IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
28   assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
29   services carried out by independent certification bodies.
30 6)  All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
31 7)  No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
32    members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
33   other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
34    expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
35           Publications.
36 8)  Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
37     indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
38 9)  Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
39  patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
42 International Standard IEC 60269-7 has been prepared by subcommittee 32B: Low-voltage
43 fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.
44 The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
46 Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the
47 report on voting indicated in the above table.
48 This part is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60269-1, Low-voltage fuses, Part 1:
49 General requirements.
51 This Part 7 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses or subclauses of Part 1.
52 Where no change is necessary, this Part 7 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause of Part 1
53 applies.
55 Tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101.
56 Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
58 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
59 A list of all parts of the IEC 60269 series, under the general title: Low-voltage fuses, can be
60 found on the IEC website.
62 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
63 the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data

76 1 General
78 Fuse-links for the protection of battery energy systems shall comply with aIl
79 requirements of IEC 60269-1, if not otherwise indicated hereinafter, and shall also comply
80 with the supplementary requirements laid down below.
82 1.1 Scope and object
83 These supplementary requirements apply to fuse-links for the protection of batteries and battery
84 systems, including, but not limited to terminology, for electricity storage in equipment for circuits of
85 nominal voltages up to 1 500 V d.c.
86 Their rated voltage may be higher than 1 500 V d.c.
88 The object of these supplementary requirements is to establish the characteristics of Battery fuse-
89 links in such a way that they can be replaced by other fuse-links having the same characteristics,
90 provided that their dimensions are identical.
