I have a flyback powersupply that operates from about 20V to 450V+ (AC

what is a possible circuit to use on its input to keep it from starting
up until this threshold is reached?


For simplicity reasons, Get your self a DIAC rated around 75 volts
connect one end to the cathode of D34 and the other end will be
the V+ supply for R5 instead of connecting R5 directly to V+.

Neat idea actually Jamie. 30-40V diacs are more commonly available though
(I've never met a 75V diac) so perhaps 2 of those in series.
