Fellow tekkies,
I was cleaning up today, and came across an item I picked up from Boeing Surplus some years ago: A P6015A high-voltage probe in just about mint condition.
I have vague memories of buying it because it was in such good condition, and because I had nothing that could do HV probing at the time. However, not having used it as yet, I'm curious as to what applications this probe was used for 'in the lab,' as it were.
The immediate apps that come to my gray matter are checking the HV line of a CRT for ripple or noise, as well as safely monitoring the plate terminal in high-power RF amps (I'm thinking HF bands, kilowatt-class) for parasitics or other undesirables.
However, not having that much experience in dealing with HV, I'm curious as to what other apps such a probe might serve.
Thanks.
