Is that what it stands for? Because OVP is surge protection.

 

SIP is definitely Surge & Inrush Protection.

 

OCP (Over Current Protection)
OVP (Over Voltage Protection)
SCP (Short Circuit Protection)
OPP (Over Power Protection) 
OTP (Over Temperature Protection) 
SIP (Surge & Inrush Protection)
 
All the protections in the power supply world, lul.

I looked up my power supply from Enermax and it says it offers SIP protection(I know it's redundant). What does SIP mean and do? You can find my PSU here: http://www.enermaxusa.com/psu_enm750awt.php

OVP is over-voltage protection; SIP is Surge and Inrush Protection.

SIP deals more with surges of power and the increased amount of electricity right when a device is plugged in (inrush current)

OVP then deals with outputs from the supply, and over-rides the supply if the voltages are too high. (in most cases, about 30-40% above nominal)

tldr: SIP = input; OVP = output
