The 40kV HV probes often seen on eBay are usually rated only for DC measurements. I've not tried them on AC, and would be concerned that their very high resistance is not compensated for AC use, and may deliver misleading results. Has anyone else tried these probes on 60Hz AC?
They are used for AC all the time. The usual accuracy is 5% for AC.

The HP 34300A is rated DC to 150Hz.
