Protection Features
Check out our PSUs 101 article to learn more about PSU protection features. Our protection features evaluation methodology is described in detail here.
| Protection Features | |
|---|---|
| OCP | 12V: ✗ 5V: 30.5A (152.5%) 3.3V: 28.0A (140%) 5VSB: 5.8A (193.3%), 59.37mV ripple |
| OPP | 1008.254W (118.62%) |
| OTP | ✓ (165°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: 2x NTC thermistor & 1x bypass relay |
OCP on the minor rails is set at normal levels. However, it's higher than it should be on the 5VSB rail; ripple gets out of control with 5.8A.
Over-temperature protection is set a little high as well, given the PSU's long-lasting passive mode.
Fortunately, there is SCP on all rails, the power-good signal is accurate, and surge/inrush protection is provided as well.
