6. Multiple Protection Features
The power supply incorporates multiple protection mechanisms to safeguard the device and connected equipment. These include:
- OVP (Over Voltage Protection): Prevents output voltage from exceeding a set limit.
- OCP (Over Current Protection): Prevents output current from exceeding a set limit.
- OTP (Over Temperature Protection): Shuts down the unit if the internal temperature exceeds a safe threshold (System temperature > 80°C).
An "Abnormal Status Indication" will be displayed on the screen if any of these protections are triggered.
