High Voltage Test Probe

thingiverse

IF YOU ARE NOT AN ELECTRICIAN AND/OR RELATED TRAINED PROFESSIONAL, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY IT! HIGH-VOLTAGES ARE TOO RISKY TO YOUR HEALTH! BE ADVISED! This probe was designed to hold a resistive voltage divider for measuring high-voltages in a relation of 10.000:1 or acording your proprietary network divider design. I will attach the schematic and a simulation circuit to use with EDA Poteus 8.3 or higher. You could adapt the circuit to use it to make modifications with EAGLE (Autodesk EDA solution). https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AzgaG8GklSC4G0pVTwXmVRpLErNXGNL1?usp=sharing Printing: Print each part and glue everything with Superglue (cyanoacrilate base). 2 x HALF 1 2 x HALF 2 1 x CAP Remeber: ABS tends to shrink 3 to 5% after cool down, so adjust it in your slicer software before sending the gcode to your printer. (PTFE-Teflon) ABS and PETG are the best ones to mess with high-voltages. Building: After mounting the resistive network inside, put a tip of copper or an INOX nail with proper diameter and conect to your divider network (beginning) fill it completely with melted paraffin and let it dry. Put the cap on back and make the proper holes to pass your cables. (One red (+) and one black (-) banana plugs for your multimeter, and one black cable with alligator clip for your high-voltage ground - end of divider network) You can make an extra hole to access your trimpot (ADJ.) screw to ajust the readings @ multimeter in a proper scale. Think about it, BEFORE paraffin job! After that, just doing everything again.
