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: ✗ 5V: 34.2A (137%) 3.3V: 35.0A (140%) 5VSB: 5.6A (187%) |
| OPP | 992.3W (132%) |
| OTP | ✓ (110°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
The OCP thresholds on the minor rails are where we'd expect them to be, given our experience so far. However, the 5VSB rail's OCP point should be set lower in our opinion.
OPP is a little higher than normal, while OTP looks low. But we didn't encounter any problems during our high ambient testing, so this protection feature probably won't cause any unwanted shut-downs under real-world conditions.
As expected, short circuit protection is present on all rails, and the power-good signal is accurate.
