When point B is reached, overcurrent protection (OCP) trips. At this point, two
types of operation are available on the PLZ-4W depending on the protection action
setting of the OCP.
If Protect Action is set to LOAD OFF, the load is turned off.
If protection action is set to LIMIT, the PLZ-4W sinks current as a constant current
load at point B. Even if you attempt to increase the input current, the current is lim-
ited at point B. If you decrease the input current, the OCP is cleared. The PLZ-4W
returns to CP mode, and the operating point moves along segment AB.
