HVD310xA

The HVD3000A series high voltage differential probes provide high CMRR

over a broad frequency range to simplify the measurement challenges

found in noisy, high common-mode power electronics environments.

The probe’s design is easy-to-use and enables safe, precise high voltage

oating measurements.

Key Features

• 1 kV, 2 kV, 6 kV CAT safety

rated models

• Widest differential voltage

ranges available

• Exceptional common-mode

rejection ratio (CMRR) across a

broad frequency range

• 1% gain accuracy

• High offset capability at both

high and low attenuation

• AC and DC coupling

• ProBus active probe interface

with automatic scaling

Exceptional Common-Mode

Rejection Ratio

The CMRR for the probes is

exceptional out to very high

frequencies, greatly improving

measurement capability in the noisy,

high common-mode environments

found in power electronics. The high

CMRR combined with low probe

noise and high offset capability

provides superior measurement

capabilities compared to other HV

differential probes.

High Precision Measurements

HVD3000A series probes provide 1%

gain accuracy enabling precise voltage

measurements. AutoZero capability

ensures further measurement precision

by allowing small offset drifts to be

calibrated out of the measurement.

This feature can be applied without

removing the HVD3000A leads from

the device under test.

Widest Application Coverage

The HVD3000A series cover the fullest

range of applications, from 120/240V

switch-mode power supplies through

600 V class and 5 kV class electrical

apparatus, Each model has the best

available gain accuracy, widest differ-

ential and offset voltage range, and

superior CMRR.

1500 Vdc CAT III Rating

The HVD3206A supports 1500 Vdc

solar photovoltaic (PV) measurements

per the IEC/EN 61010- 031:2015 stan-

dard. It has a 1500 Vdc CAT III and a

2000 V (DC+peakAC) CAT I rating.

Complete Probe Integration

The ProBus interface provides power

and communication to the probe

eliminating the need for a separate

power supply or batteries. Attenuation

is automatically selected based on

oscilloscope gain range (V/div) setting.

WORLD’S ONLY 2 KV SAFETY RATED MODEL

Solar PV Inverters

The HVD3206A probe is rated to 1500 Vdc (2000 V DC + peak AC). This makes the probe ideal for testing single-phase

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AT LOWER VOLTAGES

120 V / 240 V Half-Bridge Circuit Topologies

Single-phase switch-mode power supplies and other devices utilizing half-bridge topologies need test and validation at DC

bus voltages up to 340 Vdc with up to 680 Vp-p on the input voltage. HVD310xA probes are cost-effective solutions for

probing the wide range of high voltage signals present in these systems. “No Accessory (NOACC)” versions of these probes

permit additional cost savings. Use your existing accessories or purchase just the ones you want.

MOSFET/IGBT Devices

Upper-side Gate Drive Voltage Measurements

Typically from 3 to 20 volts and “floating” at up to the DC

Bus voltage. HVD-A Series probes can provide very good

results, but the HVFO High Voltage Fiber Optic probe

is optimized for the best upper-side gate drive voltage

measurements with 140 dB CMRR, reduced DUT loading,

and better pulse response.

Device Analysis

Conduction loss or Rds(on) measurements require a

voltage probing solution that has high CMRR, fast overdrive

recovery, voltage clamping (so the oscilloscope is not

overdriven), compensation flatness, gain/amplication to

see small signal details, and precise offset generation to

see the switching device’s turn-off performance. For this

type of analysis, the Teledyne LeCroy DA1855A Differential

Amplier is the best solution. It provides 100 MHz

bandwidth, excellent common mode rejection ratio (CMRR)

of 100,000:1 (typical), and overdrive recovery to within

100 mV from a 400 V input signal in less than 100 ns.

• High precision - 1% accuracy

• Automatic gain switching for optimum

UNDERSTANDING HV DIFFERENTIAL PROBE RATINGS

AC line voltages and power electronics systems can operate at very high voltages, and all parts of the measurement

circuit are not necessarily connected to ground, requiring HV safety ratings. Additionally, a variety of terms may be used

to describe the same voltage. Below is a simple tutorial to help you understand the various types of voltage terms and

how they relate to each other. Understanding these voltage terms is necessary to ensure the correct probe selection.

Rectied AC (DC Bus/Link Voltage)

For three-phase inputs, the three Line-Neutral (L-N) AC

Line inputs are rectied and summed to provide a “stiff” DC

(bus/link) voltage for the input to an inverter subsection.

The example shown to the right is for a 600 Vrms system.

The Line-Neutral RMS voltages are 600V/√3, and each

Vpeak(L-N) is calculated as √2*Vrms. The DC bus voltage

after rectication and ltering is equal to √3*Vpeak(L-N), or

847 Vdc in this case.

Single-phase AC Line Input

Ratings are provided in Vrms (also referred to as Vac) referred

Line-Neutral. AC Line inputs are usually grounded and these

voltages can be assumed to have a 0V reference voltage.

Vpeak is calculated as √2*Vrms and Vpk-pk is calculated as

2*Vpeak. The example to the right is for a 120 Vrms rating.

Three-phase AC Line Input

Ratings are provided in Vrms (also referred to as Vac)

referred Line-Line (L-L), which can be converted in

magnitude to a Line-Neutral basis by dividing by √3.

Vpeak (L-L) is calculated √2*Vrms and Vpk-pk is calculated

as 2*Vpeak. The example on the left is for a 480 Vrms

three-phase rated system with signals shown as Line-Line.

Inverter or Drive H-Bridge or

Cascaded H-Bridge Outputs

The nominal peak voltage (+ or -) of the PWM signals

without accounting for signal overshoot is equal to the DC

bus voltage. The measured 0V differential voltage value is

not ground-referenced, and therefore a differential probe

suitably rated to the DC bus voltage is recommended. Note

that the +Vpeak and -Vpeak plus overshoot safety margin

(typically ~50%) is what the HV differential probe must

measure - Vpk-pk (2*Vpeak) will never occur in the circuit.
