>> How about:
>> (1) Five hand-selected 1M, 2-watt in series on a PCB or perfboard
There will be some loading when the meter is paralleled across the
bottom 1Meg.
Also make the lower resistor out of four 2 watt resistors in series-parallel.
If one of the resistors opens up, you don't want that one to be the
bottom resistor.
( assuming all you purchase is 1Meg resistors. )
I'm guessing that the bottom resistor may need to be somewhat above
1Meg to compensate for the meter loading. Calibrate it by using a
120vac source and an accurate digital meter across the Simpson. Should
show 1/10th or 12VAC
