To determine the maximum allowable pulse amplitude, measure the pulse width
at the 50% points (see Figure 3b). Divide the Ampere-second (or Ampere-
microsecond) specification of your probe by the pulse width. The quotient is the
maximum allowable current; the peak amplitude of the measured pulse must be
less than this value.
For example, the A6302 current probe has a maximum Ampere-second product
of 100 A
m
s. If a pulse measured with an A6302 probe has a width of 3
m
s, the
maximum allowable peak current would be 100 A
m
s divided by 3
m
s, or 33.3 A.
