June 19, 2014 (Nagano, Japan). Hioki E.E. Corp. has announced the launch of the CT6841 and the CT6843 AC/DC current probes (rated at 20 A and 200 A, respectively) for high precision testing ...

It is essential to measure fast current transients with good precision in power electronic applications, for example to determine switching loss in semiconductors, to monitor stress in bond wires in ...

Current measurements are not as handy as voltage measurements. You typically need to either measure the voltage across something and do some math or break the circuit so a known resistor in your ...

Tektronix introduced the P6042 current probe in 1969, priced at $625 ($4100 in 2016 dollars). It has a probe you can clamp onto a wire carrying current. The output of the P6042 goes to an oscilloscope ...

In Part 1, we covered the bandwidth limitations of passive probes and why they can't be used in today's switching power supply designs. High-frequency probes are expensive and often out of reach to ...
