The 12V rail is conservatively set, but having the same triggering point under cold and hot conditions is incorrect. Thankfully, this is not the case for over power protection, where the triggering point is notably lower at high temperatures. Moreover, the minor rails have been correctly set over current points. Finally, all other essential protection features are present and work well.
