In Reply to: RE: VR tube as bleeder in choke input supply? posted by vbenonisen on March 24, 2017 at 17:01:13
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with this idea. I assume you would use a resistor in series with the VR tube(s). Do you have specific circuit values in mind?

Follow Ups:
No, I just thought that it would make my choke input power supply a little more cool. I need to drop around 10-15mA and wirewound resistors are way more boring than VR tubes.
Well, there's nothing wrong with the use of a VR tube to reach critical inductance. I would still install a high value resistor (not necessarily wirewound), just so the supply eventually bleeds down fully.
