I agree that it's a bit much for testing nixies, which are inherently low
current devices.
Certainly, the unit has both adequate voltage and current for the task at
hand. If you do end up purchasing this power supply, I would strongly
suggest that you employ it with a current limiting resistor

I was hoping the experts here could give me their opinions on this
power supply? Seems it was used in a medical application.
Since this device's max output is 500V @ 400mA do you think it would
be accurate at low current levels Nixie's require.
This thing
Thanks!
I'm currently designing a case. I may end up making a limited run to
sell, but I very much plan on making the code and design files
available to others in case they wish to attempt this themselves.
That said, the entire affair is all surface-mount parts placed very
closely together.
I second that. It only takes about 5 mA of current through the heart to go
into ventricular fibrillation. At 500V, this thing can fry you, let alone
electrocute you.

A couple of years ago I picked up 2 NIB Xantrex 1000W 600V @
And while we are at it, could people please call the
tube Z568_M_? ;-)
Or to be more accurate (assuming they were originally made without the
filter coating), we should call them Z5680M.
AJ, I have found my master :-)

If you were building Guitar Amps, or Theatre sound systems, or even Ham

OK gentlemen, I think you've adequately scared me away from purchasing
one of these devices. I sure don't want to go through ventricular
fibrillation.
I think I'll get one of the inexpensive Tayloredge switch mode power
supplies
Thanks for all the input.
