"Loaned" my commercial high voltage probe to a "friend" and have not seen it in six months, the "friend" claims he does not have it. Need to homebrew a HV probe, can I use Schedule 20 or 40 pvc?
• Yes
Will it handle the E (4 kvdc). I guess I could hi pot test it. Any info appreciated.
• PVC is good with DC. With RF, sometimes it works and sometimes it melts. The best RF plastic in a plumbing emporium is ABS.
