I need to run from the back of my car to the front a 100 volt wire from the hybrid battery. The wire is for a 100 volt volt gauge.
My question is since I don't want to have 100 volt wires run to the front of the car for safety. Can I simply just use a 100K ohm resistor at the start of the wire run that will limit the current to very low levels without changing the voltage reading?
I assume because a volt gauge draws so little current, the voltage will be very close (99%+) to the real voltage and this will limit the current in case of a short or touching the wire and killing someone.
Please let me know what you guys think and what resistor value I should use or if I should do it another way.
Here is a link to the voltage gauge I will use and have mounted at the front of my car.
