Description
The Tektronix CT2 Current Probe is designed for permanent or semi-permanent in-circuit installation. The Tek CT2 consists of a current transformer and an interconnecting cable. The current transformers have a small hole through which a current carrying conductor is passed during circuit assembly.The CT2 detachable cable design enables one or more probes to be located on circuit boards or in other limited space areas.The Tek CT2 high-frequency current transformers are dynamic (i.e., non-DC) current measuring devices. It is typically used in conjunction with compatible high-bandwidth oscilloscopes and other instruments to observe and/or record high-frequency current waveforms. The Tektronix CT2 normally operates directly into 50 O scopes and other measuring device inputs.In all cases, the CT2 must work into 50 Os to obtain specified performance and sensitivity.The Tek CT2 is rated at 36 A peak, with an Amp-second Product of 50 × 10-6 seconds (50 Amp-microseconds), therefore the CT2 can safely handle a 36 A peak pulse with a maximum width of 1.39 microseconds or lower amplitude pulses for longer pulse widths. The CT2 has low-frequency roll-off characteristics. Low-frequency “droop” will exhibit itself when the pulse width approaches the L/R time constant of the specific transformer.
