Congratulations on the purchase of your new Corsair SF
Series High Performance SFX power supply.
SF Series power supplies give you 80 PLUS Gold efficiency, excellent
electrical performance, and virtually silent operation in a SFX form
factor. With 105°C Japanese capacitors and ZERO-RPM fan mode,
they're a great choice for high performance small form factor PC's
where reliability and low noise are essential.
Safety and protection
• Over-voltage protection (OVP)
Over-voltage protection for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC outputs
is required to comply with the SFX specification. OVP shuts
down the PSU in the event that the DC outputs exceed a set
level, determined by the PSU manufacturer. The minimum
voltage levels required for compliance are 13.4V for the
+12V rail(s), 5.74V for the +5V rail and 3.76V for the 3.3V rail.
• Over-current protection (OCP)
The SF Series features OCP on the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails.
OCP ensures that the output of the DC voltage rails remains
within safe operating limits.
• Over-temperature protection (OTP)
OTP ensures that the PSU will shut down when the internal
temperature reaches a set point. This is usually as a result
of internal current overloading or a fan failure.
• Short-circuit protection (SCP)
A short-circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than
0.1 ohms. Amongst other things, SCP ensures that the PSU shuts
down should the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails short to any other rail, or to
ground. It also ensures that no damage should occur to the unit, or
your PC's components in the event of a short.
