If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your measurements ...

Wires and cables tend to behave as transmitting antennas. When troubleshooting a system for EMI, you must identify which cables have these undesirable “common mode” currents. Current probes let you ...

If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your measurements ...

Tektronix introduced the P6042 current probe in 1969, priced at $625 ($4100 in 2016 dollars). It has a probe you can clamp onto a wire carrying current. The output of the P6042 goes to an oscilloscope ...

Extech Instruments announces its MA640 600A True RMS AC/DC Clamp Meters + NCV that has a higher accuracy rating then standard RMS meters. To use a clamp meter, only one conductor is normally passed ...

Aim-TTi has developed a current probe which is cable of measuring currents in PCB tracks. Measurement of current normally requires either the insertion of a shunt resistor, or for the conductor to be ...

Inrush current effect is common in electric motors. Sometimes, in case of ill-designed electrical wiring systems, switching on the motor may activate the fuse. It is caused by the inrush current – ...
