Check the specs on the Meanwell. Most good power supplies do have
current limiting built in. Most of them you can short the output and
they will limit to whatever the current limit is.

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?
