CURRENT PROBES
MEASURE CURRENTS IN A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
Measuring AC and DC Currents
LeCroy current probes do not require the breaking of a circuit or the insertion
of a shunt to make accurate and reliable current measurements. Based on a
combination of Hall effect and transformer technology, LeCroy current probes
are ideal for making accurate AC, DC, and impulse current measurements.
Fully Integrated with Oscilloscope
Many current probes require external power supplies or amplifiers to display a
waveform on the oscilloscope screen. All LeCroy current probes are powered
through the LeCroy ProBus connection and require no additional hardware.
Along with providing power, the ProBus connection allows the current probe and
oscilloscope to communicate, resulting in current waveforms automatically displayed
on screen in Amps, and calculated power traces scaled correctly in Watts. This full
integration also allows for Degauss and Autozero functions to be done directly from
the oscilloscope with a single button press.
Applications
LeCroy current probes are available in a wide range of models for a wide range
of applications. The full range of LeCroy current probes includes models with
bandwidths up to 100 MHz, peak currents up to 700 A and sensitivities to 10 mA/div.
Multiple current probes can be used together to make measurements on three-phase
systems, or a single current probe can be used with a voltage probe to make accurate
instan taneous power measurements. LeCroy current probes are often used in applications
such as the design and test of switching power supplies, motor drives, electric vehicles,
and uninterruptible power supplies.
