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: 76.944A (124.1%), 11.998V 5V: 34.5A (138%), 4.86V 3.3V: 31.2A (124.8%), 3.23V 5VSB: 5A (166.67%), 4.996V |
| OPP | 923.17W (123.09%) |
| OTP | ✓ (75°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
Over-current protection on the minor rails is set at normal levels, while the 5VSB rail can deliver lots of power before its corresponding protection kicks in.
The low over-temperature protection, restricted at 75°C, is particularly notable. Normally, a 50°C-rated PSU would have a much higher OTP triggering point.
Finally, the power-good signal is accurate, and the platform is equipped with surge and inrush current protection.
