VOLT:PROT:CLE Clear the tripped OVP circuit
Note The power supply’s OVP circuit contains a crowbar SCR, which effectively shorts the
output of the power supply whenever the overvoltage condition occurs. If external
voltage source such as a battery is connected across the output, and the overvoltage
condition inadvertently occurs, the SCR will continuously sink a large current from
the source; possibly damaging the power supply. To avoid this a diode must be
connected in series with the output as shown in Figure 3-1 on next page.
