Description

About the DP-08VF 150MHz High Voltage Differential Probe

The DP‑16VF is a high‑frequency differential voltage probe engineered for demanding power‑electronics, high‑voltage and fast‑switching measurement environments. Designed to deliver safe, accurate and isolated measurements. The DP‑16VF allows engineers to capture high‑potential differential signals using any oscilloscope, DAQ or data recorder, while keeping the oscilloscope properly grounded. This makes it indispensable for applications where standard single‑ended probes cannot safely measure floating or high‑voltage nodes.

The DP‑16VF high frequency differential voltage probes are an important accessory for any application involved in power electronics and high voltage systems. These probes allow isolated, floating and safe measurements with any oscilloscope, DAQ or data recorder, allowing the oscilloscope to remain grounded while input signals float at other voltage levels. Using a DP‑16VF Differential probe, differential and floating (isolated) measurements can be made on a variety of AC power systems like 460V/230V/110V AC input power supplies, chopped and switching power supplies, thyristor controllers, variable‑speed motor drives (PWM signals), motor inrush current and current‑shunt measurements.

To ensure safe and reliable connection to high‑voltage test points, the DP‑16VF features isolated inputs via two 4mm safety banana sockets. A BNC output provides seamless integration with oscilloscopes and DAQ systems, enabling clean, stable waveform capture even in high‑frequency, high‑EMI environments.

The DP‑16VF differential isolation voltage probes are powered from a battery or an external power supply, offering flexibility for both bench and field use. With high input impedance, excellent common‑mode noise rejection and robust insulation, the DP‑16VF delivers precise differential measurements across a wide range of high‑voltage and high‑frequency applications.

Engineers in R&D, industrial maintenance, academic labs and system validation rely on the DP‑16VF for accurate high‑frequency differential measurements, safe floating operation and dependable oscilloscope performance. Its combination of bandwidth, safety, and measurement fidelity makes it a trusted tool for modern power‑electronics diagnostics.
