The Complete Guide to Power Supply Protection – Why GLG Drivers Are the Safe and Reliable Choice for LED Systems

1. Introduction

A reliable power supply is the foundation of safe and stable operation in modern lighting and industrial systems. Without proper power supply protection, risks such as short circuits, overload, and overheating can cause failures, costly downtime, and even safety hazards. Choosing a driver with built-in short circuit, overload, and over temperature protection is essential for safe operation and long-term reliability.

2. What is Power Supply Protection?

A power supply protection system is designed to safeguard against common electrical failures:

•    Short Circuit Protection – Prevents serious damage when circuits are unintentionally connected.

•    Overload Protection – Stops the power supply from exceeding capacity, protecting connected devices.

•    Over Temperature Protection – Prevents overheating caused by high loads or harsh environments.

In LED lighting and industrial applications, these issues are common. Without proper protection, even small faults can lead to significant damage. This makes power supply protection a critical factor for safe and reliable power performance.

3. Why Choose GLG Driver?

The GLG LED Dimmable Driver – G Series is equipped with advanced protection mechanisms:

•    Short Circuit Protection: The driver shuts down and requires a manual restart (re-power on) after the fault is removed.

•    Overload Protection: Operates in Hiccup Mode (≤120%), reducing output and allowing auto recovery once the load is safe.

•    Over Temperature Protection: Shuts down when the temperature exceeds 212°F (±50°F), then automatically recovers after cooling.

Hiccup Mode vs. Latch Mode

•    Hiccup Mode – Intermittent output with automatic recovery, ideal for overload and over temperature events.

•    Latch Mode – Complete shutdown requiring manual restart, used in short circuit situations for maximum safety.

By combining auto recovery convenience with manual restart safety, GLG drivers deliver both reliability and protection.

Product Highlights

•    Wide Input Voltage Range (100–277VAC) → Suitable for global installations.

•    20kHz Operating Frequency → Eliminates flickering, providing smooth, professional-grade lighting.

With these intelligent protection features, the GLG Power Supply guarantees both safety and superior performance.
