Re: HV differantal probe?

Frequency should not damage a scope, even if it is a higher frequency than
the scope can be used to measure. Otherwise most scopes would be dead given
the amount of high frequency energy in the air. So unless you are doing work
with voltages higher than your scope is designed to work with you should not
need any kind of special probe. Most scope probes have a "10X" feature which
drops the voltage by a factor of ten anyways.
