Hioki

CT6711 – Current Probe, From 200μA, 120MHz bandwidth

Note: If power cannot be supplied from the Memory HiCorder, the optional Power Supply 3269 is required. Please pay attention to offset drift during continuous, long-term measurement.

Overview

Hioki flat bandwidth current probes are best-in-class current sensors for use with Memory HiCorders and high performance oscilloscopes. The CT6711 is a 3-range, high-sensitivity current probe that offers a wide DC to 120 MHz bandwidth and 200 μA to 30 A input, letting your capture signals across an expansive current range, from steady state to transient currents, when developing switching power supplies, inverters, and motor controllers.

Use with an instrument with a high input impedance of 1 MΩ or higher.

Key Features

  • 3 ranges in a single probe – 30 A, 5 A, 0.5 A. Observe a wide current range from micro currents to 30 A.
  • Wide band: DC to 120 MHz (-3 dB)
  • High S/N ratio and 10 times output rate: Observe waveforms at 100 μA/div at oscilloscope maximum voltage sensitivity setting of 1 mV/div
  • 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.
