High-voltage probe for multimeter use
The Pintech HVP-50A is a 1000:1 attenuation probe designed to extend a digital multimeter's range to 50 kV DC or 35 kV AC at 50/60 Hz. It serves technicians who need to measure high-voltage circuits in industrial, laboratory or automotive test environments where standard multimeter leads cannot reach safely. The extra-long insulated handle keeps hands away from live conductors during measurements.
Interface limited to 10 MΩ input meters
Accurate operation requires a digital multimeter with exactly 10 MΩ input impedance and a basic accuracy within ±0.5 %. Meters that differ from this specification will alter the attenuation ratio and produce incorrect readings. The probe presents a 500 MΩ input impedance and draws a maximum load current of 0.1 mA at 50 kV DC, limiting power dissipation to 5 W. AC accuracy is ±2 % up to 28 kV and ±3 % from 28 kV to 35 kV.
Accuracy defined by ±1 % full-scale DC
The single specification that determines suitability is the DC accuracy of ±1 % of full scale, with a temperature coefficient of 100 ppm. This performance level suits calibration, insulation testing and high-voltage supply verification where traceable precision is required. The probe weighs 385 g and operates from 0 °C to +50 °C. CE marking confirms compliance with applicable European safety standards.

Questions about this item
Should I choose this 1000:1 probe or a different attenuation ratio?
The HVP-50A has a fixed 1000:1 attenuation ratio and requires a digital multimeter with exactly 10M input impedance and ±0.5% accuracy; any other ratio would need a different probe model.
What does the 50 kV DC rating mean when I connect it to my multimeter?
At 50 kV DC the probe outputs 50 V to the meter, drawing a maximum 0.1 mA load current and dissipating up to 5 W, so the reading on a 10 MΩ DMM will be the true voltage divided by 1000.
How does the CE-marked 1000:1 interface limit real-world use?
The probe only works with a 10 MΩ input-impedance multimeter of ±0.5% accuracy; using any other meter will seriously affect the attenuation ratio and invalidate the ±1% DC and ±2–3% AC specifications.
