Over Power Protection and Max Wattage
Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).
Teapo are high quality? Things have certainly changed since the days I used them.
When I worked on the bench back in the mid 80’s to late 80’s repairing switching PSU’s was my job and Teapo were a cheap and nasty brand of cap we used to buy use because they were far cheaper than Nippon Chemi-Con and a lot easier to obtain. Generally they were good for about 9 months then they began to swell, leak and pop but those PSU’s were not PC PSU’s but heavy duty PSU’s used in large mainframes, in fact so much current ran through them that they buzzed and it was nerve wracking to to thread a screwdriver past the heatsinks and exposed coils to tweak a potentiometer.
Anyway I’m rambling on now. What I’m getting at is Teapo have been around for a long time and I guess their components have improved considerably because a lot of reputable manufacturers use their caps.
