That stems from our basic need for humor.

Sorry...mistype... cable is about 50 ohms per foot.

Resistance is about an order of magnitude higher than desired.

OOooo!

That sounds like it may be do-able. BUT where does that resistance wire come from? Most heaters have a much larger diameter nichrome wire, and i do not know where one can buy "plain" resistive wire like that. Suggestions? Oh, "insert" might be a bitch..one might be forced to spot-weld the resistive wire to the existing internal wire. And it ain't easy to pull out....

Reply to
Robert Baer

Reason why center conductors are virtually impossible to pull out,is that the insulation is hot-cast onto the wire..

Excellent!! You are on a roll!

Why not make an active HV probe and have it drive a standard cable? Many scopes have a probe power source available with +/- 15 volts or so. There is plenty of room in the handle of a 1 Gohm to 10 meg 1000X probe to put an opamp and other parts.
