CWT Ultra-Miniature High Frequency Current Probe

Powertek PEM CWT ULTRA Miniature Current Probe

High-Frequency Rogowski Coil Current Sensor - Ideal for Tight Spaces

The CWT ULTRA Miniature Current Probes feature an exceptionally thin 1.7mm cross-section Rogowski Coil sensor, making them perfect for fitting between the legs of a TO-220 semiconductor switching device. Capable of measuring currents up to 30MHz, these probes are designed for monitoring steady-state currents, switching transients, and pulsed currents ranging from 300mA to 12000Apk in power electronics. The CWT ULTRA Miniature probe is a flexible, clip-around current probe based on the Rogowski principle, ensuring high-bandwidth measurement and accurate current-to-voltage conversion. It is compatible with oscilloscopes, transient recorders, data loggers, power meters, and analyzers.

Each probe is equipped with an 80mm clip-around coil, ensuring easy current monitoring even in spaces where access is limited.
