Ok HP 6237B load test passed :-+
3 hours on full whack and it's barely even warm.
Miscalculated one resistor value slightly and it burned up nicely after about 20 minutes so bodged up some more.

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.

And the Japanese consider Hari Kari a noble way to die. :P :P :P :P :-DD

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

Haha, I assure you its not a trick question, yes I'd agree if I HAD to use one of them, that would be the one that I would choose because in my mind it offers the better insulation between me and the HV.
The second part of the question was to see which brand of meter would you expect to have the perceived better insulation on their probe, I know which one it is but I was just curious to what other people thought, thats all.

That's good news indeed, so will a TTi unit be moving out soon or will you keep them, especially as they can supply 4 times what the 6237B can and of course now that you've solved the missing channel issue?

No idea yet. Time will tell. Might just chuck it back on ebay yet. I am merely nursing things back to health :)

Yep, you're the equivalent to the NHS for all things TEA related when they are sick :-DD
