High Voltage Probe

A former student of mine came to my office showing me a high voltage probe bought from Taiwan by his boss. The brand name was PINTEX. Before this he had difficulty of testing the high voltage of the monitor. Why do we need high voltage probe? The probe will show us the exact high voltage value produced at the anode by the flyback transformer. Whenever a monitor shutdown we need to know at what voltage level does it shutdown. Does the monitor shutdown at less than 24 kv or above 24 kv? With high voltage probe you can quickly determine at what voltage the monitor shutdown and you can easily determine the relevant circuit and from there you can start your troubleshooting job.

His high voltage probe need to be connected to a multimeter in order to read the reading. From the manual, it says that 1volt= 1000 volt! That's mean if your meter registered 24 volt is actually 24000v or 24 kv. As for me i still prefer to use a high voltage meter that comes with a panel meter on it. It's simple and very easy to read. However if you want to know more about how a high voltage probe can really help in troubleshooting, i strongly recommend you to visit my website about the important of high voltage meter.
