I built a hi pot tester from a design on Rich Measures web site.... 0 -20kv with volt meter, leakage current meter, etc. Parts cost me about $100, works like a charm. Norm N8NH -- FAQ on WWW: http://
Dan, Wanna bet it sells for more than $100. It does not make a good hi pot tester as the current meter is in milliamps ( 0-3) and not in micro amps which is necessary to test many parts without blowi
Dan, Rich's circuit is a voltage doubler with current limiting so you wont damage components. I used a 7500v neon bulb transformer, which gives you just at 20kv. Transformers can be bought for $5. Su
