Overvoltage Protection (OVP) in Power Supplies

Application Notes

Over voltage protection (OVP) is a critical feature in your power supply. By using this feature, you can protect the device under test (DUT) from a higher voltage that can damage your device. Over voltage protection is useful in a variety of applications in electronics manufacturing and the educational market. 

Keysight E3630 and U8000 series power supplies are short-circuit proof and can operate under any current overload condition indefinitely, without the risk of internal damage. It uses an overvoltage crowbar circuit that connects the output terminals. The crowbar circuit protects against any output overvoltage condition that might occur because of operator error or failure within the power supply or load.

Over voltage protection is an important feature for power supplies to protect your DUT from a voltage higher than it was designed to handle. By knowing the architecture of a power supply’s over voltage protection, you can easily apply and fully utilize it for many applications. Read more.
