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: 106A (106%) 5V: 31.65A (126.6%) 3.3V: 36.2A (144.8%) 5VSB: 4.8A (160%), >100mV ripple |
| OPP | 1359.2W (113.3%) |
| OTP | ✓ (160°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Does not function correctly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
The +12V rail's OCP level is set rather low, while the minor rails have high OCP triggering points (as usual). The 5VSB rail should be set more conservatively; with close to 4.8A current output, its ripple suppression goes wild.
Over-power protection is set low as well, mostly because of the +12V rail's low OCP level. And OTP is set a little high, since this is a semi-passive PSU.
Unfortunately, the power-good signal is inaccurate.
