[Amps] plate voltage meter shunt

[Douglas Johnson <w9iix1@yahoo.com>]

I am installing a meter to measure plate voltage 1-5000v@ 1a dc, the meter has 
a 1ma fs rating.  the serial resistance I have made up in the past has been 3 
watt metal film resistors in series. since they can only rated for 200v per 
resistor it takes many to do the job. Can some other resistor type with a 
higher rating be used in a safe manner for this purpose?...tnx, Doug,w9iix
