It drives the power transistor output circuit to its voltage limit,?somewhere around 27 volts if I recall correctly..I'm not sure exactly what damage it can cause, but it's certainly not something you want to do.
"As another?point in the matter,?do not?power-up?the power supply unless it has a load on it. It needs to have the circuit completed in order to work properly"
Waou this info is very useful Scott!? I made the PSU calibration many times in the past, but always pulled the Molex connector off in order to tie the sense lines together externally, so the circuit was always disconnected from the PSU doing that.
So i will follow your procedure 100%, thank you for sharing this with such precise explanations.
Besides providing possible inaccurate results on the multimeter, is there any risks for the psu when not recreating the circuit resistance that way?
