CWT Ultra Miniature Wideband Current Probe
Sense coil thickness 1.7mm

The CWT ULTRA Miniature current probes utilize a Rogowski Coil current sensor thin enough (typical cross section 1.7mm) to fit between the legs of a T0220 semiconductor switching device. Measuring currents up to 30MHz, the CWT ULTRA miniature is ideal for measuring steady state current, switching transients or pulsed currents between 300mA and 12000Apk 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, transient recorders, 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.

  • 1.7mm dia sense coils will fit between the legs of T0220 package
  • Very thin & flexible clip-around sense coil
  • Peak Current ratings from 30Apk to 6000Apk
  • Sensitivity set to give ± 6 volts peak output(e.g. 20.0mV/A for ± 300A peak)
  • Capability of driving 50 ohm impedance
  • 30MHz High Frequency Bandwidth
  • Accuracy typically 0.2% of reading
  • Sense coil length of 80mm
  • Peak voltage isolation 1.2kV
