The 12V rail is conservatively set under both hot and cold conditions. The over power protection is a bit high since this is a low-capacity unit. I would like to see an even lower OPP triggering point at high temperatures for optimal protection. Moreover, the minor rails have conservatively set over current points. Finally, all other essential protection features are present and work well.
