Kin
10 kW
I've found a few posts on ES saying the SP-series operates in hiccup mode, and only the S-series operates in CC fold back mode.
The datasheet
(http://www.meanwellusa.com/productPdf.aspx?i=436#1)
Says "Overload: 105 ~ 150% rated output power
Protection type : Constant current limiting, recovers automatically after fault condition is removed"
My guess is the 150% rated output power is the issue, is it basically overheating and then hiccuping? Or does it not at all do CC current limiting? If it's the former then perhaps I could get away with cutting down the shunt so that it protects within a suitable actual-current range. It seems like I may have done that a while ago (shunt is dremeled a little), but I last used this equipment 6 years ago....
I'm in a pickle, because I put together a charger for a friend who is leaving to far off land for a couple weeks, and I haven't had time to test it fully. Luckily it's the backup charger, but personally I am not comfortable with sending them off without a backup charger. I don't have any suitable batteries to test the current control at the moment, since they're off being borrowed by a friend or the wrong voltage.
:S.
