I've run my megawatt at 15.1 volts for over an hour no problems. it has Sat at 33 amps for over 10 minutes no problems. YMMV
Well technically my cheapowatt made over 38 amps for 10 minutes no problem. It was minute 17 that there was a problem.
The night before I had kept it at 36 amps for over an hour. It barely got warm when making anything under 15 amps.
Got a shipping notification from Mouser already for the new transistors. Hope replacing them works.
It appears that megawatt does have overload protection saying/claiming the 400 model will do 36 amps for 30 minutes then backing off to 30 amps for 3 minutes to cool off before ramping back up to 36 amps
MeanWells have some models which shut off at overload, and some others which hold constant current at overload, but these are pricier.
Meanwell offers lots and lots of different models
