Analog Discovery 2 : Measure 1kV+

[shirogeek]

Hey guys,

 

I would like to measure more than the +-250V stated in the datasheet. Can I use a BNC probe with 100x attenuation while matching the input impedance of the discovery 2 ? Do you have any you recommend ?

 

Generally I would like to measure voltages going up to 2kV ideally and wondered what would be the best and fastest way to do this... Budget is not necessarily a big issue but cheap is welcome of course.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @shirogeek

With probes for AD2+BNCAdapter make sure it can be compensated to at least 45pF.
If you are building custom probe watch out for the component voltage ratings.
Take care
