Hi Brian:

Very interesting.

DMMs are commonly available to measure up to 1000 V DC
with accuracies of 0.1% or better.

However, DMM probes for voltages greater than 1000 V DC 
are typically 2% accuracy.  (Oscilloscope HV probes are
MUCH better!)

However (again), the Fluke 80K-6 will give you 1% with 
a 0.25% DMM!

Best regards,
Rich
