Hi Jim,

I'm pretty sure that R. Hull had the measurement
of a known fraction of HVAC when suggesting the use
of an NST to measure HV, as the 15kv/120v ratio can
easily be multiplied by the output measurement of
the reversed NST. However, I am trying to measure
high voltage DC since I'm trying to guage the ap-
plied voltage to the terminal of a huge capacitor
bank that I'm trying to charge. The reverse NST
measurement method that you propose would only
give resaonbly accurate measurement data for high
voltage AC.
