Valhalla 4600

The Valhalla 4600 is a high-accuracy digital voltmeter engineered for direct high-voltage measurements in demanding applications including CRTs, high-voltage power supplies, VGA monitors, transformers, and Hi-Pot testers. It eliminates attenuation and accuracy losses inherent to traditional high-voltage probes, delivering true RMS AC voltage measurement capability to 15 kV RMS with bandwidth extending to 20 kHz for harmonic analysis across non-sinusoidal waveforms.
