The 4mA minimum load is livable; even at 300V it's only 1.2 watts. It's probably required for safety reasons so that you dont have an open unregulated output. In fact, a lot of switchmode supplies require a minimum load, otherwise the output goes to zero volts.
Please be VERY careful with this supply; one mistake and you could kill yourself. If you put a 5K resistor in series with the output, it will limit the max current to less than 60mA which shouldn't be enough to kill you, but will be a nasty shock. Fatal current is 100-200mA. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
