Current Probes Accurately Measure AC, DC and Impulse Currents Measure Currents in a Wide Range of Applications Measuring AC and DC Currents LeCroy current probes do not require the breaking of a circuit or the insertion of a shunt to make accurate and reliable current measurements. Based on a combination of Hall effect and transformer technology, LeCroy current probes are ideal for making accurate AC, DC, and impulse current measurements. Fully Integrated with Oscilloscope Many current probes require external power supplies or amplifiers to display a waveform on the oscilloscope screen. All LeCroy current probes are powered through the LeCroy 2 ProBus® connection and require includes models with bandwidths no additional hardware. Along with providing power, the ProBus connection allows the current probe and oscilloscope to communicate, resulting in current waveforms automatically displayed on screen in Amps, and calculated power traces scaled correctly in Watts. This full integration also allows for Degauss and Autozero functions to be done directly from the oscilloscope with a single button press. up to 100 MHz, peak currents up to 700 A and sensitivities to 10 mA/div. Multiple current probes can be used together to make measurements on three-phase systems, or a single current probe can be used with a voltage probe to make accurate instantaneous power measurements. LeCroy current probes are often used Applications LeCroy current probes are available in a wide range of models for a wide range of applications. The full range of LeCroy current probes in applications such as the design and test of switching power supplies, motor drives, electric vehicles, and uninterruptible power supplies. CP031 – 30A, 100 MHz Current Probe Features • 100 MHz bandwidth • Small form factor accommodates large conductors with small jaw size • 30 Arms continuous current, 50 A peak current The CP031 is LeCroy’s highest bandwidth current probe.

The fast overdrive recovery provides the ability to make critical saturation voltage measurements while the high CMRR enables upper gate drive measurements. Built into the DA1855A is a precision voltage generator for offset far greater than the oscilloscope can provide on its own. The DA1855A can be operated in true differential mode or switched to comparator mode. DCS015 – Deskew Calibration Source To make accurate instantaneous power measurements it is critical that both the current and voltage waveforms be aligned in time. The DCS015 calibration source has both voltage and current time-aligned signals, which enables the precise deskew of voltage and current probes. Most voltage probes along with the AP015, CP015, CP030, and CP031 are compatible with the DCS015. ADP300 and ADP305 – Active Differential Probes The ADP300 and ADP305 are high-voltage differential probes ideal for measuring power electronics. The 20 MHz bandwidth ADP300 is good for troubleshooting low frequency power devices and other circuits where the reference potential is elevated from the ground or the ground is unknown. The 100 MHz bandwidth ADP305 is designed for measuring the floating voltages found in today’s high-speed power electronics.
