[Amps] Power supply question

[Alex Eban]

..actually, with the usual voltage dividers across the output the voltage
goes down quite fast for small overvoltages. Anyhow, a high value resistor,
needing to draw 1 or 2 milliamps, is not a bleeder needing to draw some tens
of milliamps. I didn't have any problems caused by surges.
All I had were a few blown diodes, all of them caused by overcurrent.
73 and all the best:

REPLY:

I think this is incorrect. it is true the voltage across each cap can
not fall below the individual supply voltage, but it can go above it.
Equalization resistors are still needed.
