Wideband Current Probe for Oscilloscopes

Hioki

3273-50 – Clamp On Probe, DC -50MHz, 30 Arms

Note: Use optional Power Supply 3269 or 3272 to drive the current probe when power from the Memory HiCorder or oscilloscope is not available. Exercise care concerning offset drift when performing continuous measurement over extended periods of time.

Overview

Hioki flat bandwidth current probes are best-in-class current sensors for use with Memory HiCorders and high performance oscilloscopes. The 3273-50 offers a wide DC to 50 MHz bandwidth and 30A of continuous input, and applications include capturing transient current signals from switching power supplies, inverters, and motor controllers.
The probe is designed with a high permeability magnetic shield to reduce the effects of electric fields, making it ideal for measuring low currents or nearby high-current lines.
Use with an instrument with a high input impedance of 1 MΩ or higher.

Key Features

  • Waveform observation across a wide band from DC to 50 MHz
  • High S/N characteristics enable the measurement of 10 mA order current waveforms (3273-50, 3276)
  • Directly connect to an oscilloscope’s BNC input terminal (*1)

*1: Connecting the probe’s metal BNC terminal to a Memory HiCorder’s plastic BNC terminal may distort or damage the plastic terminal. To avoid damage, please connect and disconnect the probe cable straight to the BNC terminal of the waveform monitoring equipment.
