I don't have access to these documents outside of work, but if memory serves, at least some of them have that limit. I don't see a regulatory standard listed in any of the documentation for the SPD3303C, but going on a manual for another power supply and the presence of a CE mark on the SPD3303C, my best guess is they constructed it to IEC 61010-1.

Got ya. :-+ I suppose manually wire them in series to get 64V is in regulation.. whatever keeps regulation happy.

I now am careful to always wear an ESD strap when operating the SPD3303C, even I'm only touching the supply itself and not the circuits that I'm testing.

Been covered here I had same issues, its a known issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkbVq94F688. I would have imagined with ESD the output caps would absorb it (220uF 50V caps on the output) so I feel like something else is going on. I have voided my warranty and found that the 3.3V / 5V regulators run quite hot enough to leave brown discolorations underneath the chassis. Not so impressed seeing them regulators without heatsinks.
