Wide Range of Applications
Teledyne LeCroy current probes are
available in a variety of models for a
wide range of applications. The full
range of Teledyne LeCroy current probes
includes models with bandwidths up
to 100 MHz, peak currents up to 700 A
and sensitivities to 1 mA/div. Teledyne
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.
High Sensitivity
The CP030A and CP031A provide a high
sensitivity of 1 mA/div. This allows for
more precise low current measurements
on Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes.
When used with HDO high denition
oscilloscopes with HD4096 technology,
users will obtain highly accurate, low
current waveforms with unmatched
12-bit resolution for improved debug
and analysis.
Fully Integrated
All Teledyne LeCroy current probes
are powered through the Teledyne
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’s
user interface.
Deskew Calibration Source
The DCS025 deskew calibration
source has both voltage and current
time-aligned signals, which enables the
precise deskew of voltage and current
probes. Most voltage probes along
with 30, 150 and 500A current probes
are compatible with the DSC025.
Teledyne 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, Teledyne LeCroy current probes are ideal for making accurate
AC, DC, and impulse current measurements.
