choosing a sensor for voltmeter..

hey
can anyone suggest me a sensor for my voltmeter project...
Its input voltage is 33kv with 100v resolution , I m using the microcontroller with inbuilt adc and this microcontroller does not requires a separate pt, but i want to convert the input voltage i.e. 33 kv to 110 VAC ....
can i use a step down transformer or kinda thing....???
 
33kV; AC or DC?
If AC; what frequency?
If DC you can buy ready-made HV probes for DMM's. They contain resistors, and together with the intended 10M ohm load resistor they divide by 1000.
 
Ok. Just Google for [HV probe] and see what you find out. I figure they work at 50Hz too. A 33kV transformer would be harder to find I guess, + big & expensive.
