The 12V rail’s OCP triggering points are high, given the unit’s enormous max nominal power. I would also like to see a larger difference between normal and high temperatures. On the contrary, the minor rails are correctly set and have enough difference between normal and high temperatures.
The OPP triggering points are not sky-high, but the main issue here is that they are identical while the hot one should be notably lower, to protect the PSU effectively. The rest of the essential protection features are present, but the fan failure is absent; typically, it should exist in a high-end power supply.
EMC Pre-Compliance at a Glance
Every electronics device, including PSUs, can be an EMI source, which, depending on the amount of EMI emitted, can affect the proper operation of nearby devices. EMI can, in some extreme cases, even render them unusable. Some standards have been established to minimize EMI noise. The corresponding standards for IT (Information Technology) products are CISPR 32 and its derivative EN 55032, which is for products sold in the EU. In the EU, every product featuring the “CE” marking has to comply with the EN 55032 standard. CISPR 32 and EN 55032 standards divide devices into two classes, A and B. B-class equipment is for domestic environments, so their permitted EMI emissions are significantly lower than for A-class devices.

| Frequency of Emission (MHz) | Field Strength Limit (dBuV/m) | |

| 88 – 216 | 43.5 | |
| 216 – 960 | 46.0 | |
| > 960 | 54.0 | |
Please note that the ATX spec allows a 4 dB margin for conducted and radiated emissions. This means that if a PSU exceeds the limits but stays within the 4 dB margin, it meets the corresponding ATX spec requirement (8.1 Emissions).
EMI Results
The PSU’s conducted emissions remain below the limits.
Great Info !!!!!!!
Please continue forever.
