## Phidget Power Guard.lvlib:PowerGuardSetOverVoltage.vi

The device constantly monitors the output voltage, and if it exceeds the `PowerGuardOverVoltage` value, it will disconnect the input from the output.

- This functionality is critical for protecting power supplies from regenerated voltage coming from motors. Many power supplies assume that a higher than output expected voltage is related to an internal failure to the power supply, and will permanently disable themselves to protect the system. A typical safe value is to set OverVoltage to 1-2 volts higher than the output voltage of the supply. For instance, a 12V supply would be protected by setting OverVoltage to 13V.
- The device will connect the input to the output again when the voltage drops to (`PowerGuardOverVoltage` - 1V)
