4.9.4 Fuse Protection
The average mains current can peak temporarily, depending on the load
impedance and type of signal, at values several times higher than the
nominal value allowed by the fuse protection. Continuous monitoring of
the fuse protection status allows the conditions that would trigger the fuse
protection to be predicted. In order to avoid shut-down of the amplifier due
to current overload, the amplitude of the input signals will be limited. The
limitation of the input signal allows the V8 power amplifier to be operated
reliably from a mains power supply of 230 V/15 A (120 V/30 A).
4.10 Main SMPS Protections
4.10.1 Overcurrent Protection
Main SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) transformer current of your V8
amplifier is continuously monitored. If over current occurs, the main SMPS
immediately stops working. Should there be an internal failure, this feature
prevents other parts being damaged.
4.10.2 Thermal Protection
The temperature of the main SMPS transformer of your V8 amplifier is
permanently monitored. If the temperature exceeds 85 °C, the main SMPS
is switched off. The amplifier‘s display will indicate a main SMPS error in
this case.
4.11 Fans
The fans mounted in your V8 amplifier operate permanently, but as long as
the temperature remains below 40 °C, they run at their slowest speed and
can hardly be heard. The highest detected temperature from either chan-
nel controls the speed of the fans. Above 40 °C the speed is increased until
it reaches its maximum value.
