Another thing is.... is your meter really capable of handling 1KV? Many meters have range up to 1KV but many are not made to measure that high safely. Assuming it is, do you even need that? AND... at that high voltage, do you have any application to need any sort of precision?
I play with tube based Ham Radio equipment. They have 850V or so in final cage. So I do have a need. But I also know if it's 830V or 870V, it won't really make any difference. To measure this level of voltage, I'd turn the equipment off, bleed capacitor, hook it up, check, hands off, and turn on the power. It's kind of whole new world once you pass few hundred volts.
If you are *just* calibrating your meter, you'd only need a small power supply capable of supplying just few milliamps. But regulating such would require good knowledge on how to safely handle high voltages.
If I were you, I wouldn't bother. If I really need that, I'd get it done by a cal-house.
Assume you made it, how would you verify it's 1000V exactly? Do you have a calibrated anything that can measure that?
