Hi all,
I am trying to reduce a pulsing voltage (coming from an electric fence charger) of 5kV down to 5V. I already tried using a voltage divider, but the voltage is coming out very inconsistently—anywhere from 7V to 170V. I found the schematic attached (from a thesis paper) but I'm not too sure how to set it up. I only want the voltage detector, I am not interested in the pulse detector. I tried setting up the circuit by placing the 10M, 10M, 1M, and 6.8k resistors in series, but I am still getting the inconsistency issues.
Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Sorry if I'm missing something extremely simple, I'm very inexperienced and just looking to learn.
