using a high resistance-ometer

ANSWER: Some commercial voltmeter have an input impedance of 11 mega ohms So instead of measuring across the resistance you may put the meter in series that will give you a voltage drop due to current that can be calculated to find the other resistance

How do you measure Input high voltage?

You can measure high voltage by using Potential Transformer (PT). or by using utility meter or power manager. ANSWER: Adding a hi resistance in series with a low resistance and measuring that voltage drop. If the resistance is known then current is determined and the source can be calculated. transformers do not work well with DC,
