N2780A Series AC/DC Current Probes A wide selection of current probes to meet your application's needs Data Sheet

  • Various bandwidths: DC to 2 MHz,

10 MHz, 50 MHz, 100 MHz

  • DC and AC measurements
  • Superior 1% accuracy and high signal-to-noise ratio
  • Overload-protect function prevents probe damage from excessive input
  • Direct connection to high-impedance

1 MΩ BNC input of oscilloscope

  • “Demagnetize” button to remove any residual magnetism that builds up in the magnetic core
  • External power supply (N2779A) lets you connect up to three N278xA current probes to a single power supply Compatible with any oscilloscope with a high-impedance BNC input, the new N2780A Series current probes offer accurate and reliable solution for measuring DC and AC currents. Hybrid technology for AC and DC measurements Using hybrid technology that includes a Hall-effect sensor and an AC current transformer, the probes provide accurate measurement of DC or AC currents up to

500 Arms (for model N2780A) or DC–100 MHz (for model N2783A), without break-

ing into the circuit. Using split core construction, the probe easily clips on and off of a conductor. Wide range of applications The current probes feature broad measurement ranges (up to 500 A), flat frequen- cy response, low noise and low insertion loss that make the probes ideal for cur- rent measurements in areas such as measuring steady state or transient current of motor drives, switching power supplies, inverters, controllers, sensors, disk drives, LCD displays, electronic ballasts and amplifiers. The high signal-to-noise ratio of the N2782A and N2783A makes them ideal for making low-level current measurements in milliampere ranges. Accurate current measurement A built-in DEMAG (demagnetize) function allows the removal of any residual magnetism that has built up in the magnetic core due to power on/off switching or excessive input current. In addition, voltage offset or temperature drift on the probe can be easily corrected by using the zero adjustment control.

You must select the input impedance of the oscilloscope to be 1 MΩ in order to make accurate measurements. If the oscilloscope you are using does not have a 1 MΩ input impedance setting, you can purchase the Agilent E2697A 50Ω to 1 MΩ adapter.
