A power system for powering a load including a power converter and a control circuit coupled to the power converter. The power converter includes an input terminal for receiving an input voltage and an input current, and output terminal for outputting an output voltage and an output current to a load. The control circuit is configured to monitor the output voltage and the output current of the power converter and shut down the power converter in response to the output voltage being less than or equal to a defined voltage threshold and the output current being greater than or equal to a defined current threshold for a defined period of time. Other example power systems, control circuits, and methods of controlling power converters are also disclosed.
A power system for powering a load, the power system comprising:
A method of controlling a power converter, the method comprising:
A control circuit for controlling a power converter, the control circuit configured to monitor an output voltage and an output current of the power converter, and to shut down the power converter in response to the output voltage being less than or equal to a defined voltage threshold for a defined period of time and the output current being greater than or equal to a defined current threshold for the defined period of time.
