Sorry, the last link didn't work.

But anyways, here is a schematic of a recent high voltage divider I designed
which was rated for up to 60kV, and a 50 ohm termination.  It is a good
example of a very well designed
high voltage divider and should give you an idea of how these actually look
like and how the compensation networks are applied.  This particular one
works extremely well up and beyond
10 MHz.

But of course, if you are only planning on using one of these to hook up to
a digital multimeter to measure your primary voltage (60Hz), then you don't
need anything this elaborate.
