[AFMUG] DC Power SS -- short circuit?

[Adam Moffett]

I just replaced a Meanwell SDR-240-48 today.  I have no reason to think 
there was a surge, but it made me think of the thread about the Netonix 
POE and surge suppressors.  If a DC surge protector clamps, am I 
shorting my DC power supply?  What's likely to happen?

This unit is supposed to have protection for over voltage and overload 
conditions.  It doesn't specifically say anything about short 
circuit....but I assume a short leads (rapidly) to an overload so maybe 
it would be ok?
