SPC SPC9681

The rated output current is the maximum load current that a power supply can provide at a specified ambient temperature. A power supply can never provide more current that it's rated output current unless there is a fault, such as short circuit at the load.

The Load Current can be defined as 1) Full load current the maximum current that an electrical machine can operate; 2) Rated Current the current rated on the nameplate of an electrical machine; 3) Nominal Current is generally mentioned in the specification documents that is normally the same value as the rated one.
