FAQ
Q: What does ESCP mean in this module? A: ESCP stands for Electronic Short Circuit Protection, which automatically disables output channels during fault conditions to prevent damage.
Q: Can this module be used with sinking loads? A: No. It is designed for sourcing outputs only—loads must be connected between the output and negative power bus.
Q: Is this module hot-swappable? A: No. Power must be removed before installation or removal.
