High-voltage Probe

Home made and differential, too

High-voltage Probe
High-voltage Probe
Measuring small differences between high voltages normally calls for special ‘differential’ test probes, which do not come cheap. But you won’t bust your budget on expensive components building the DIY solution described here and you’ll pick up plenty of practical know-how in the process.
