In this naming convention, the current rating and trip-behaviour is given as a variable. The special thermal-triggered fuses will be refereed to as "TCP" (= Thermal Circuit Protection). There are 2 different trip-response-characteristics for TCPs supplied by "Phoenix Contact", being fast and medium fast. The diagrams for their response can be seen in figure \ref{f-type} as well as in figure \ref{m-type}. In general, "M-type" fuses were used where a wider variation of current draw can occur. This is the case for the drive train or other components directly powered by the battery (high inrush current). For components using a DC/DC converter, the upstream fuse is following "F-type" trip-responses. The reason behind this is, that DC/DC converters usually come with onboard e-fuses and cap out at distinct ampacitys. If the current is higher than specified in the datasheet of the converter, the fuse needs to switch off immediately.
