--- Quote from: Specmaster on June 19, 2018, 11:39:28 am ---To be honest, I never quite understand why the big guns HV probes always seem to have such massive, uninsulated tips on them, especially when so often the test points or accessible points on HV are so often in such close proximity to other items or even grounded metal work, seems to be inviting flash overs if you ask me?

Larger tip increases the probability of the electrons actually choosing to hit the tip and not leaking up the handle.

But does it really need 2" of exposed tip?

That's for poking nosey buggers that come looking while you're measuring HV and offer the risk of distraction.  :-DD

The question was IF you had to, WHICH one would you go with? Also of course which probe belongs to which meter??

Now then it strikes me that both meters are made by well respected companies, both have japanese engineering so should be well engineered and tested to their rating provided of course that you take  adequate precautions and not standing in a pool of water etc  :-DD, so with that in mind both probes should be safe to use given the aforementioned factors. Obviously we all would much prefer to use something that was rated at 40Kv such as the B&K PR-28 with a safety factor of 8 times the 5Kv.

I'm quite sure that the meters must have been used to measure HV many times over the years.

From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]

OK, seriously...given what you show us I'd use the thicker probe (Left one). As far as which probe goes with what meter...don't know how I would determine that again given what you show us. Must be a trick question.  :-DD
