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: >40A (in multi-+12V rail mode) 5V: 38.9A (129.7%) 3.3V: 39.9A (133%) 5VSB: 5.6A (160%), >50mV ripple |
| OPP | 1431W (119.25%) |
| OTP | ✓ (140°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
OCP on the minor rails is configured properly, given that on papers it is set at 30A. It should be lower on the 5VSB rail, though, since we measured excess ripple with over 5.4A load on it.
OPP is set properly at around 120%, while OTP looks to be higher than the normal; we had to crank up the heat on the secondary side in order to trigger this protection feature. Finally, the power-good signal is accurate, and there is SCP on all rails.
