Protection
Apply limits when there is a danger of damaging the instrument’s internal circuitry or to protect the load.
| Over Voltage Protection (OVP) | Set value for OV, Positive Peak OV, and Negative Peak OV. By default, these are set to their maximum allowable values. |
| Under Voltage Protection (UVP) | Enable (On) or disable (Off) UVP. This function turns off the output when the output goes below the UV value. When enabled, set value for UV. |
| Over Current Protection (OCP) | Enable (On) or disable (Off) OCP. When enabled, set Trip Timer to specify the amount of time that must elapse before the output is turned off when the current limit is exceeded. This is useful when you don't want the output to be turned off due to issues such as inrush current causing short-term overloads. If the Soft sensing has been selected, you will not be able to disable the OCP. |
| Watchdog Protection (WDP) | Enable (On) or disable (Off) watchdog protection. This function turns off the output when SCPI communication is not performed for a length of time that is equal to or exceeds the watchdog setting. When enabled, set the Delay Timer before watchdog protection is activated. |
| Protection Clear | If a protection function is triggered, remove the condition that caused the protection fault, then click Protection Clear to reset the protection. |
