High voltage current measurement

[johnerrington]

@embed12 This is all nonsense.
You have asked a question without giving any information that would help us give rational answers.
40mA 40kV

@embed12

20kh- 30kh

is by my reckoning 1.6kW of RF matched to a 1M load.

You cant use a resistive divider to measure RF, you need to account for the capacitance and inductance also.

@embed12

some polymer is poured onto high voltage postive terminal

So its NOT AC?

This starts to make a LITTLE more sense.
@Koepel gave you the answer in this post:

@Koepel

Would it be possible to measure the current before it is turned into that high voltage ?
Would it be possible to measure the ground current instead ?

How to make a schematic you can post.

When you submit a question on the forum you will usually need to add a schematic (circuit diagram). The tutorial that follows will explain some ways to create a useful image; however lets start by explaining how to add the image to your post. Its easy. Having created the image all you need to do is : Save the image somewhere convenient - maybe your desktop Start your post, and place the cursor (insertion point) where you want the image to be shown; [upload image to forum] 3: click th…
