What is your expected load current please?

some resistors going to a LM311 18v regulator.

Uh? A 311 is a comparator, what are you trying to do?

You are right Neil. Typo. The regulator is supplying a stable voltage for my LM311 comparator, and it is providing a reference voltage. I have the regulator reach its stable voltage point when the turbine voltage is at 200vdc. I have a resisitive divider monitoring the raw 200vdc. I compare this output to the stable 18v using the comparator. The resistive divider output exceeds the 18v when the turbine voltage reaches 230-235vdc, and this changes the comparator output to HIGH.

Why dont you do the comparator using high voltage transistors besides using an IC?
If you could do that there is no need to get low voltage.

Thanks everyone. I think I have a working solution. I am getting some components and I will try it on a breadboard. If it works I will post the schematic within the week.

Again, the contraints to this problem were:
Only 200-240vdc source available ( I don't want to tap into individual phases).
I need go from 0 to 18v on an IGBT gate when the dc volts get above 235vdc, and drop to zero if below.
