Oscilloscope current probe features and performance
Current probes measure the magnetic field generated by electrons moving within a wire. Within the range specifications of the current probe, the magnetic flux field around the conductor is converted into a linear voltage output that can be displayed and analyzed on an oscilloscope or other measuring instrument. By wrapping the wire completely around the probe core (split core and solid core), the magnetic flux field can be accurately measured. Split core probes are very convenient, they can be clipped onto the wires without having to disconnect them. Solid core current transformers (CTs) are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations. They are small and provide a very high frequency response that can measure ultra-fast, low-amplitude current pulses and AC signals.
Characteristics and performance of oscilloscope current probes
Simply measure current through the TEKR0BEBNC interface. Directly connected to the TDS series with split-core core structure, it can be easily connected to the circuit DC to 50MHz bandwidth 15A DC ten peak AC current 50A peak pulse current 500*0.000001 (ampere-second).
performance:
1. Bandwidth DC to 50MHz.
2. Maximum DC+peak AC current—15A.
3. Maximum peak pulse current—50A.
4. Minimum sensitivity—10mA/div.
5.DC accuracy—
6.±1% (with probe calibrator)
7.±3% (without probe calibrator).
8. Maximum bare wire voltage—300V (CAT︱).
