5.1.5. System example - Lynx Distributor only
In this system it does not matter which side the batteries, the DC loads or chargers are connected. Multiple Lynx Distributors
and/or Lynx Power Ins can be used.
Note that the Lynx Distributor LEDs are not operational without a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS. However, it could be a
design decision to use Lynx Distributor unpowered because there is a need for a fused busbar but not necessarily a need for
broken fuse indication.

5.2. System sizing
5.2.1. Current rating Lynx modules
The Lynx Distributor, Lynx Shunt VE.Can and the Lynx Power In are rated for a nominal current of 1000A, for 12, 24 or 48 System
voltages.
To give an idea of how much power the Lynx modules are rated at different voltages, see below table. The power rating will give
you an indication how big the connected inverter/charger system can be. Keep in mind that if inverters or inverter/chargers are
used, both the AC and DC system will be powered from the batteries. Also be aware that a Lynx Smart BMS or a Lynx Ion (now
discontinued) can have a lower current rating.

5.2.2. Fusing
The Lynx Distributor has spaces for 4 fuses, one for each DC circuit. These spaces have been designed to fit MEGA fuses. For
12V and 24V systems use 36V rated MEGA fuses and for 48V systems use 58V rated MEGA fuses. For more information see the
Fuses & Fuse holders product page
.
Always use fuses with the correct voltage and current rating. Match the fuse rating to the maximum voltages and currents that
potentially can occur in the fused circuit. For more information on fuse ratings and fuse current calculations see the
.
The total value of the fuses of all circuits should not be more than the current rating of the Lynx module, or the
Lynx model with the lowest current rating in case of multiple Lynx modules are used.
