""How high? I just ordered 200x10meg resistors to make a voltage divider. I
figure to put them in a tube in oil. They should be good for 100 kv
(500volts/resistor) to give 50 ua at 100 kv and use a 50 ua meter to indicate
the voltage. That's only wasting 5 watts of power. If I out a full wave bridge
in series I am hoping to measure ac too."

Jim:
	Is this a DC probe only?  For AC or oscilloscope use you will
probably need capactive compensation, which requires HV capacitors as
well.
