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: >81.5A 5V: 32.8A (164%) 3.3V: 34.2A (171%) 5VSB: 4.2A (168%) |
| OPP | 983.27W (131%) |
| OTP | ✓ (170°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
The minor rails have high OCP levels, while the 5VSB rail is on the low side, given our experience so far.
The OPP level is fairly normal at 131%, and the power-good signal is accurate. Finally, there is surge protection in the form of an MOV and an NTC thermistor, along with a bypass relay to handle large inrush currents.
