So I have this 51x rack, actually more then one, however I am using retail API 500 units in it and when somehow Mr. Neve's Portico 517 shorts the rails to the 48v it seems to burn out and smoke the 48V part of the circuit.
Then to make matters worse it (the short) causes the other Portico to Smoke ....
And then the AMS NEVE 1073 starts smoking...
BTW , the 4 API 512s are fine.
Really disapointed in the lack of protection from this sort of thing!!!!
Who can help me put in a way of protecting the rails form cascading failures?? I would like to mod the powersupplies to avoid any more money lost. These are very expensive modules melting. If something like this could be detected and fused It would have saved a lot of money and repair time.
Ideas?? Thanks
