Operation
Set Output Protection
Seven configurable protection mechanisms are available:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
OVP shuts down the power supply if the protection limit is exceeded. The other
options offer a choice: they shut down the power supply or issue a warning. When
the protection level is set to zero, that mechanism is considered disabled.
However, in the case of OVP, a hardware protection mechanism still exists.
The last protection mechanism is Fold Mode protection, when the unit will shut
down if it enters the selected regulation mode for a specified period of time.
Other protection mechanisms designed to protect the power supply are:
•
•
•
•
•
Recovery options are available for AC Off, OTP and Slave Shutdown.
Also, see "Status Registers" on page 4–43.
3–10
OVP: Over-Voltage Protection. Factory default = 103% V
UVP: Under-Voltage Protection. Factory default = 0V (disabled)
OCP: Over-Current Protection. Factory default = 0A (disabled)
UCP: Under-Current Protection. Factory default = 0A (disabled)
OPP: Over-Power Protection. Factory default = 0W (disabled)
UPP: Under-Power Protection. Factory default = 0W (disabled)
Fold: Fold Protection. (See below.)
AC Off: AC Off protection will disable the output if the AC line drops below
the acceptable range.
High Temperature Alarm: A High Temperature condition will queue an
alarm message when the temperature of critical internal components nears the
maximum operating temperature.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP): An over temperature condition will
disable the output.
Sense Protection: Sense Protection will disable the output when the internal
sense circuit is tripped by either reversed polarity at the output of the supply
or a high voltage present at the output.
Slave Shutdown Alarm: Slave Shutdown Alarm (12000 Watts only) will
disable the output when one of the protection mechanisms has been enacted in
the slave unit.
