The CWT ULTRA Miniature current probes utilize a Rogowski Coil sensor thin enough (typical cross section 1.7mm) to fit between the legs of a T0220 semiconductor device. With high frequency bandwidths up to 20MHz, the CWT ULTRA miniature is ideal for measuring steady state, switching transients or pulsed currents between 300mA and 1200Apk in power electronic equipment. The CWT ULTRA miniature probe is a clip around flexible coil current probe based on the Rogowski principle to achieve high bandwidth measurement and faithful conversion of current to voltage, intended for use with oscilloscopes, data loggers, power meters and power analyzers. All models are supplied with an 80mm length clip-around coil, ensuring easy current monitoring even where access is limited.
