Why are PSU manufacturers still allowed to make single-rail PSUs considering that they are big fire hazards?
>>54808104
they aren't
you haven't done enough research.

Ur mom's dry vag is a huge fire hazard. But that didn't stop her from making you.
>>54808104
bamp, don't die on me PSU thread.
How is that a fire hazard?
>>54810517
no current regulation per rail

I see the lack of over current protection in OPs pic, but is that really the case with all single rail power supplies?
>>54810995
only for the shitty ones. Any PSU that is competently built has overcurrent protection installed for all rails. PSUs with DC-DC conversion for the minor rails is practically guaranteed to have it.
>>54808104
single rails fail less frequently than smaller rails in a multi-rail system, due to higher quality components being a requirement to achieve the single rail efficiently
single rails will enter a current overdraw scenario (where protection is needed) less often than a multi-rail system
digital PSUs are an interesting compromise, being a multi-rail that combines back into less, more powerful rails when needed.

All power supplies are single rail. There's one input, and one output. i'd rather have a single, strong line that doesnt risk overload from any one component than a bunch of shit, weak lines that add more cost, complexity, and noise+ripple.
