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: 133.988A (107.2%), 12.122V 5V: 40.5A (184.1%), 5.097V 3.3V: 40.1A (160.4%), 3.285V 5VSB: 6.3A (210%), 4.86V |
OPP | 1716.24W (114.4%) |
OTP | ✓ (130°C @ main transformer) |
SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
PWR_OK | Operates properly |
NLO | ✓ |
SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
The +12V rail seems to have over-current protection that's set reasonably. On the contrary, OCP on the minor rails is set pretty high. The same goes for the 5VSB rail.
Over-power protection kicks in at around 1715W, and we measure 130°C on the primary transformer as soon as the PSU is switched off. The power-good signal is accurate. Moreover, inrush and surge protection are accounted for.
