The block diagram below illustrates the different protection features.Figure 15: Protection schematicPower Supply ProtectionThe power supply of the ICEpower50ASX has 2 protection circuits; overtemperature and overcurrent.The temperature protection will be activated if the absolute temperature of the circuit is too high.This can be caused by high ambient temperature, high load (amplifier and AUX supply) for a longtime or a combination of these two parameters.The over current protection will be activated if the output current to amplifier and AUX is too large.Please remember that the AUX supply is protected by fuses.If one of these protection features is triggered, the power supply either limits its output power orshuts down. In case of a shut down the power supply will rapidly try to restart if the circuit’s temperatureis OK.
