2.2 Mains voltage and protective functions
This power supply works with 100 to 240 V (50/60 Hz) and is equipped with the following protective
functions:
1. Over Current Protection (OCP)
Over Current Protection: If a voltage rail draws in more electricity to the power supply than the
specifications allow, the power supply will switch off.
2. Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Over Temperature Protection: The overheat protection circuit switches off the power supply to protect
the electronics from damage when excessive heat is detected.
3. Over Power Protection (OPP)
Over Power Protection: Turns off the power supply when more power than allowed is being delivered
to the system, thus protecting the electronics from damage.
