Voltage Probe Oscilloscope
What is the highest voltage which can be measured with the average oscilloscope?
Can a probe be added to measure higher voltages. I need to routenely measure and view any voltage ac or dc between 1-5000 volts.
Most scopes that I recall have a 20 volt per division scale, which would be ±80 or 100 volts.
A 10:1 probe will raise that to ±800 volts, although the probe may not be rated for much above 500 volts.
A 100:1 probe will raise that to ±8000 volts, although the probe may have a lower max rating. One I looked up had a 4kV max rating. I'm sure you can find one rated to 5 kV.
