Safety function
- UVP (Undervoltage protection)
- If the voltages fall below a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.
- OVP (Overvoltage protection)
- If the voltages increase above a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.
- SCP (Short-circuit protection)
- In the case of a short-circuit this feature prevents damage to the core components of the PSU and its system components.
- OPP (Overload protection)
- If the system is oversized and requires more power from the PSU than it can perform, this protection function is activated.
- OCP (Overcurrent protection)
- If the load on a single line is higher than indicated, the PSU automatically switches off.
