• Backflow Protection: Prevents current from flowing back into the input source from the output.
• לאָו ינפּוט וואָלtage שוץ (LVP): Automatically cuts off output if the input voltage drops below a set threshold, protecting the input power source.
• אָווערוואָלtagE פּראַטעקשאַן (OVP): Shuts down output if the output voltage exceeds a preset limit.
• Overcurrent Protection (OCP): Disables output if the output current surpasses a configured maximum.
• Overtemperature Protection (OTP): Activates if the module's internal temperature becomes too high, preventing thermal damage.
• Overpower Protection (OPP): Limits or shuts down output if the total output power exceeds the specified maximum.

Always ensure proper wiring and adhere to the specified voltage and current limits to maintain safety and optimal performance.
