Key Features:
Miniature Coil Design: The small coil (3.5mm cross-section) allows installation in compact spaces, such as between semiconductor device legs.
High Frequency Bandwidth: Provides a wide bandwidth of up to 30MHz, making it ideal for measuring switching transients and pulsed currents.
High Peak di/dt Measurement: Can measure di/dt of up to 100kA/µs, providing accurate transient current measurement for power electronics.
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for harsh environments with an operating range from -40°C to +125°C.
Rogowski Coil Technology: Based on Rogowski Coil technology, which ensures accurate conversion of current to voltage for measurement.
Clip-around Coil: The flexible coil allows easy installation without disrupting active power systems.
Electrostatic Shield: Innovative electrostatic shielding provides excellent immunity to interference from fast dV/dt transients or large 50/60Hz voltages.
Peak Voltage Isolation: The coil is insulated with 5kV peak isolation, and can withstand up to 8kVrms for 60 seconds.
Battery and Rechargeable Options: Powered by 4 AA lithium batteries (90 hours) or via a 12-24V DC input. Rechargeable battery options are also available.
