Diy High Voltage Resistor. Connecting all the resistors. The slightly longer one 2 below has 200mohm and can be used at up to 10kv.
If we use a 10kω as our r 1 resistor plugging in the values we get r 2 v r 1 v in v 3v 10kω 5v 3v 15kω. Diy high voltage multimeter probe step 1. Make the resistor housing.
Finish the outer housing.
Wiring the resistor and wrap the whole thing. This is the formula we can use for choosing the resistor value we need to get any voltage we want. A wire wrapped resistor does double duty serving as the probe while providing a high. After doing some calculations i decided to go for a 1 1000 divider ratio for the many advantages including ease of reading the measured values 10kv.
