The PINTECH HVP-40A is a 40kV high-voltage probe for multimeters, designed for technicians, engineers, and advanced electronics users who need to measure high DC voltages up to 40kV or AC up to 28kV with a 1000:1 attenuation ratio and an insulated safety handle.
Recommended For
- Technicians and hobbyists diagnosing CRTs, flyback supplies, or other grounded high-voltage circuits who need to read anode or supply voltage with a standard 10 MΩ digital multimeter.
- Bench users who want an economical way to extend a multimeter into the tens-of-kilovolts range for occasional DC and mains-frequency AC checks, without moving up to a dedicated high-voltage meter.
- Repair and lab users already working with a known-compatible DMM input impedance, where the 1000:1 ratio and 10 MΩ meter requirement fit their existing measurement workflow.
- Users measuring relatively steady high voltage rather than fast transients, such as HV power supplies, electrostatic setups, or service checks at 50/60 Hz.
