THESE MUST BE OPERATED UNDER LOAD OR THEY WILL SMOKE.

At least that is what happend to mine.

Oh, sorry to hear that. Yeah, it's a bad idea to operate
any switch mode power supply without a minimum load unless
the min. load is built-in or the thing is so inefficent that
its own losses make up the minimum load. The output diodes
probably didn't like that... just my guess.

I found some interesting stuff on the panasonic inverter.

On the fusor chat they claim it's 85% efficient and good for
1200W. The efficiency seems right, the 1200W seems... optimistic.

Also this, instructions on getting the inverter to play.
