Re: TDS 1002 to read high voltage


i did'nt know that resistors have a maximum voltage.It made sense for
capacitors to have a breakdown voltage because above it the dielectric
medium between the capacitor terminals would break down.But if that is
correct then the voltage divider circuit cannot work.
As i have said above ther is always a time delay between output and
input of any capacitor network.The motivation of using resistors in
place of capacitors is to eliminate this "distortion" of the
signal(due to this time delay).
The whole idea of using a resistor network was based on the assumption
that the circuit that generates the 5000v pulses can supply atleast a
few milliamperes to the load at 5000v.Some circuits i looked up on the
net can do that,But i dont know which circuit the original poster is
using.
And cant you post your replies in halfway decent language?Its easy of
to make your point if you are right or vice-versa.
