Raspberry Pi 3B sporadic power cycling
Good day,
I have deployed about 130 units Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 for a telecom operator.
What I observe are sporadic reboots by power cycling.
The units are powerded by a DC/DC converter (TRACO THN 15-4811) with 5V/3A directly via the GPIO header
The primary power source is a telecom 48V supply with batterie backup. So from this point of view the supply voltage should be stable.
Now I read that the official power supply for the 3B has 5.2V because of a HW flaw between the USB power connector and the processor.
My question is now: does this only affect the supply from USB plug or are there any other hidden flaws that might cause this power cycles?
The operating system is Raspbian 11 headless.

Re: Raspberry Pi 3B sporadic power cycling
The output of 5.1 volt of the official PSU is NOT a "fault" but a design choice. under normal circumstances this will result in 5.0Volt at the PI's regulator, due to normal losses in the USB cable and connectors.
