Probing Principles

Maximum Current Limits

Current probes have three maximum current ratings: pulsed, continuous, and Ampere-second product. Exceeding any of these
ratings can saturate the probe core, which magnetizes the core and causes measurement errors. Refer to the speci

cations for the

maximum current ratings of the probe. (See Table 2 on page 29.)

Maximum Pulsed Current (I

maxP

) is the

maximum peak value of pulsed current the
probe can accurately measure, regardless
of how short (within bandwidth limitations)
the pulse duration is.

Maximum Continuous Current (I

maxC

) is the

maximum current that can be continuously
measured at a speci

ed AC frequency.

The maximum continuous current value is
derated with frequency; as the frequency
increases, the maximum continuous
current rating decreases.
