Okay, current limiting. If I understand the issue correctly, a low, large battery bank given a high enough charge V will draw more amps than the power unit can safely stream.
If there is current limiting in place, it will simply top out at, say, 30 amps, and keep going are that rate--is this correct? I ask because I see "constant current limiting" as "overload" protection on my sp-200-15 tech specs here:

But I guess there are other types of overload protection, including shutdown, and that this varies even among the various Meanwells?
And also, if I understand it, there is NO overload protection of any sort on the Cheapowatt that was tested? Hence the fire?
Thanks!
