Short Circuit Protection:
I short circuited the 3V3, 5V0 and both 12V lines in turn. The power supply did shut down, and once the short was removed and the unit switched off for at least one second, resumed normal operation. Although listed here at the beginning of the testing section, I tend to leave this test until the very end, in case it doesn't quite go to plan.

The Xigmatek NRP-PC402 managed to maintain its rails within the limits set by the ATX12V V2.2 specification at all load levels. No problems here, so let's move on.
