Antec VP350 Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this power supply. The objective of this test is to see if the power supply has its protection circuits working properly. This unit failed this test, as its switching transistor exploded right after we finished collecting data, meaning that the unit doesn’t have over power protection (OPP) or it is not configured correctly. During this test, noise and ripple levels were still extremely low and voltages were still inside the tighter 3% range.
