CWTMini50 HF - High Frequency Current Probe 50MHz
Miniature High Frequency Rogowski Coil Current Probe
The CWT Mini 50 High Frequency current probe series introduces a new high performance Hybrid Rogowski Coil sensor thin enough (typical cross section 3.5mm) to fit in very confined spaces.
The CWT Mini 50 High Frequency current probe series utilize a high performance Rogowski Coil sensor thin enough (typical cross section 3.5mm) to fit in very confined spaces - often between the legs of a semiconductor power switching device. With high frequency bandwidths up to 50MHz, the CWT Mini50 HF Rogowski coil is ideal for measuring switching transients or pulsed currents starting at 300mA up to 30kA in power electronic equipment. The CWT Mini 50HF Rogowski probe is a clip around flexible coil current probe based on the Rogowski principle to achieve high bandwidth measurement and faithful conversion from current to voltage, intended for use with oscilloscopes, data loggers, power meters and power analyzers. Available with a 100mm or 200mm length clip-around coil, ensuring easy current monitoring even where access is limited.
The New CWT Mini 50HF combines an innovative screened Rogowski coil providing excellent measurement of GaN switching losses and immunity to interference from fast dv/dt transients or large 50/60Hz voltages and an extended 50MHz (-3dB) high frequency bandwidth for 100mm coils. The coil has a wide operating temperature from -40°C to +125°C and is available with 5kV peak insulation, 4.5mm thickness.
The CWT Mini HF Rogowski coil range from Powertek, combines state of the art performance of the CWT ac current probe but features a miniature clip-around split core Rogowski coil capable of monitoring currents in the most difficult to reach areas of a circuit.
