I have never measured it myself although I have one, it was something I read
from somewhere.
And Vivitar did it on purpose: high voltage means better reliability with
poor contacts and long extension cords.
All the best!

Trigger voltage on my old Vivitar 283 is 400 volts. Almost mind boggling.
My ancient Norman 200B 200 watt-second strobes are only 200 volts.

No, it is not. There are older flashes with really high trigger voltages,
like the
Made in Japan version of Vivitar 283 - voltage is almost the same: 275 V.
