Chapter 1  701931 Current Probe

Product Overview

This unit can be directly connected to a BNC input connector of a waveform 
measuring instrument such as YOKOGAWA DL/DLM series, and by clamping 
it to a conductor to be measured, allows the current waveform to be easily 
captured.

Features

•  Highly accurate current detection
•  Easy current measurement
•  Wideband frequency characteristics; DC to 2 MHz
•  Wide clamp permits measurement of high current levels
•  Easy protect function during excessive input
