You'll need to use a scope to check the HO waveform and see if it is distorted. If so then you can try to remove the anode wire from the HV block and try to isolate what is loading it down.

Now still shuts down but does not open the fuse. If I leave the fuse out it will not shut down. Here is what I've found. Anode of DP18 goes to +2 volts. Cathode of DP18 (30 volt zen) goes to around 25 I'm wondering if you have had bad flybacks on this model. It appears to be shutting down from excessive current drain. Any help? Thanks Roy Roy E.
