- Is it 'better' to meter the high voltage at the bottom of a bleeder string (I have 8 100k resistors in a SB-220-style power supply), or is it 'better' to build a seperate multiplier string between B+

- Much better as part of a bleeder string that uses resistors that are not operating way above their voltage rating as in a SB-220 trio of 4.7M 1W carbons. Carl KM1H ___________________________________

- For accuracy I definitely would use some 1% to 5% resistors in a separate multiplier string. Use considerably higher values in the multiplier string so that they don't act as bleeder resistors. Using

- Use considerably higher values in the multiplier string so that they don't act as bleeder resistors. Using something like a 9 megohm resistor in series with a 1 megohm would give a 10:1 voltage ratio

- Hi Steve, Welll, if those are also the equalizing R's across the caps, as in the '220, then it is not a good idea as the leakage of the capacitors will influence the reading. Though a clever guy migh

- I have a couple of WD7S meter multiplier kits that look the same as the W2DTC pic. $20 plus shipping in a padded envelope. Kit includes all components and hardware. Look it up on the WD7S website. Bo

- There yah go. Put a multiplier string in parallel with the bleeder string. Using a calibration pot and zero center meter between the strings. Initially set it to zero. Call that the "condition" meter
