CWT Mini Clip On High Frequency Current Probe

Rogowski Coil Current Sensor - Miniature High Frequency Probe

The CWT Miniature current probes utilize a thin Rogowski Coil sensor (typical cross section 3.5mm) designed to fit into confined spaces—often between the legs of semiconductor power switching devices. With high-frequency bandwidths up to 20MHz, these probes are ideal for measuring switching transients, pulsed currents, and high-frequency AC currents, starting at 300mA up to 300kA. The CWT Mini Rogowski probe is a flexible, clip-on current probe based on the Rogowski principle, offering high-bandwidth measurement and accurate conversion of current to voltage. It is designed for use with oscilloscopes, data loggers, power meters, and analyzers.

Available with 100mm or 200mm length clip-around coils, these current probes allow easy monitoring even where access is limited.
