A power source for operating gas discharge lamps and other loads at high frequency, typically utilizing a dc source or a rectified ac source to produce a high frequency output. An inverter with oscillator circuit and first transformer has the secondary or load winding connected to a second transformer which provides a feedback signal to the transistor of the oscillator circuit through another transistor which functions as a variable resistance in the base drive of the oscillator transistor for maintaining power to the load substantially constant. A third winding on the inverter transformer is used to provide a control signal to the base circuit of the variable resistance for protecting the circuit components during an open secondary or no load condition.
