Hello,
well, 400mA @ 500V DC is quite hazardous, and 400mA is way to much
current for all Nixie tubes. It looks like an interesting power supply,
but if you would like to power Nixie tubes, build or purchase a small
SMPS, they can supply up to 60mA which is enough for depoisoning cathodes.
You could of course set the current limit to 10mA, but I think it would
be a waste of resources to use a beast like this for Nixie tubes.
Just my opinion,
Jens

power supply? Seems it was used in a medical application.

I want to be able to have something to test Nixie's with and also
possibly use this to rejuvenate Nixie's with cathode poisoning.
Since this device's max output is 500V @ 400mA do you think it would
be accurate at low current levels Nixie's require.
It seems like a simpler solution than using a variac, bridge rectifier
and resistors, etc.
I appreciate any help on this.
