PEM CWT Mini50HF AC Current Probe
The PEM AC Current Probes utilize a Rogowski Coil and Matched Analog Integrator to provide accurate non-contact, measurement of AC currents over a very broad frequency range. These flexible “clip-around” Current Probes have very low insertion impedance compared to Current Transformers, (CT), or Hall Current Transducers, are easy to insert in confined spaces and are not damaged by over-current surges. They can be used for measuring ac, pulse or transient current waveforms. Since the PEM Current Probes have no magnetic core they can be used to measure ac current on a conductor with high dc current or in the presence of a high dc magnetic field.
The CWT Mini50HF is an extension of the CWT MiniHF range. The CWT Mini50HF is optimized for faster switching devices such as SiC and has a high frequency (-3dB) bandwidth of 50MHz with a 100mm coil at just 3.5mm thickness (2kV peak insulation). As with CWTMiniHF range it combines an innovative screened Rogowski coil providing excellent immunity to interference from fast local dV/dt transients or large 50/60Hz voltages with excellent high frequency performance.
The CWT range is ideal for power electronic applications, such as monitoring semiconductor switching waveforms or for measurements in electrically noisy environments. The easy-to-use thin, flexible, clip-around coil accurately replicates fast switching current waveforms be they sinusoidal, quasi sinusoidal or pulsed.
