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 | 12V1: 37.6A (117.5%) 12V2: 37.4A (133.6%) 5V: 29.4A (163.3%) 3.3V: 31A (124%) 5VSB: 5.8A (193.3%) |
| OPP | 705.652W (117.61%) |
| OTP | ✓ (135°C @ Secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Not accurate |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: - Inrush: NTC thermistor |
OCP on both +12V rails is set very close, as you can see. The minor rails have high OCP triggering points; these don't create any problems, even under extreme conditions. We would, however, like to see a lower OCP activation point at 5VSB.
OPP is configured properly, while there is SCP on all rails.
Unfortunately, there is no surge protection, since we didn't find a MOV or a TVS diode in the transient filter. Moreover, the power-good signal is not accurate.
