Overpower Protection (OPP)
The electronic load includes both hardware and software OPP features.
Hardware OPP – In the event that the electronic load’s input power exceeds the set power
protection limit, the hardware OPP will limit the power. Once the hardware OPP is triggered, the
status register’s OP bit will be set. When the hardware OPP is removed, the status register’s OP bit
will be reset. Hardware overpower protection will not turn the electronic load’s input off.
Software OPP - Users can set the electronic load’s software OPP value with the following steps.
