As shown by the horizontal portion of the load line, when the unit is sinking power, the output current
may continue to increase in the negative direction as more current is forced into the unit. This can
happen when the load is a power source such as a battery, and its output voltage is higher than the
voltage limit setting of the power supply. Once the current exceeds the built-in negative over-current
limit, the output will shut down, the output relays will open, and the OCF status bits will be set. In such
a case, it is important to set the voltage limit properly in order prevent this protection shutdown.
