| Issue: | Some units did not pass the high voltage final test during the final checking of the Fabius in our production facility. Investigations carried out revealed that on some power supply units from a particular batch, the required minimum clearance between an electrical component and the unit housing was not maintained. Under the influence of mechanical forces (e.g., movement of the device), this may result in small bypass currents flowing in the interior of the unit which in extreme cases cause failure of the automatic ventilation function of the device. |
