[Elecraft] Re: Anyone know this info about switching supplies?

[wayne burdick]

A local discussion has 'erupted' regarding switching poser supplies 
and whether
they can fail in an UNregulated (e.g. high) output voltage condition, 
or if
when they fail will they (almost) always fail in a NO OUTPUT mode?

I've never seen this happen myself, but I just added a task to my 
firmware list to turn the K3 off automatically if there's a persistent 
overvoltage condition (say, > 17 V for several seconds).
