Default How to measure high tube amplifier voltage

Michael wrote:
Most multi-meters only measure voltages up to 1000 volts. How do you
measure voltages often used with tubes like 3-500z or 3cx1500a7
tubes? Will the range extended from Fluke listed below work with a
1000v 10 mega ohm multimeter?

80K-6 High Voltage Probe

The multimeter I have is the Radio Shack 22-801 which is rated for up
to 1000 volts.

Thanks

Yes, the probe will work with your multimeter. The probe description says
that it will work with any multimeter that has a 10 Megohm input impedance.
Your multimeter manual says that it has a 10 Megohm input impedance on DC
and AC functions.
