I have a Tektronix TDS2002C oscilloscope and need to measure high voltage in the range of 1000 ~ 10,000 volts AC, referenced to ground, in the frequency range of 1.1kHz - 3kHz. Perhaps also up to 25kHz or so in the future. I found the Tektronix P6015A high voltage probe. The voltage I am attempting to measure is on the secondary of a step up high voltage transformer feeding a capacitive load. Does anyone have experience with an application like this? I am trying to verify that this setup will do what I need before I spend $2000 for this probe.
Any other ideas or comparable products that can do this I am open to suggestions. Typical high voltage probes such as the Fluke 80K-40 will not work as they only work near 60Hz. I've tried voltage divider circuits with several standard multi-meters and while I did get a reading the result was so far away from the expected voltage I do not think that it was accurate. The expected voltage on this test was around 5-6kv and the voltage divider came up with around 1.7kv.
Thanks
