Overvoltage protection (OVP) is implemented as a two level scheme. Level One OVP is initiated when the output is between 110 to 115% of the Vset, this is non latching. Level Two OVP fixed relative to Vmax. If the output voltage rises to between 110 to 125% of Vmax the OVP is initiated. This is a latching protection and it is reset by removing and reinstating the input power. Full details of all the protection features of the Xgen series are given in Section 7 of the Designers Manual.
