Sorry for the delay in responding. I did some testing with commit
35f165f08950. I could not get that code to send the CLEAR_FAULTS
command to the power supplies.

I can update the commit message to be more specific about which power
supplies need this CLEAR_FAULTS sent, and which faults. It is observed
with the 1600W power supplies (2B1E model). The faults that latch are
the VIN_UV and INPUT faults in the STATUS_WORD. The corresponding
STATUS_INPUT fault bits are VIN_UV_FAULT and Unit is Off.
