| The CT-5 High Current Transformer
is designed to extend the current measuring capability of either the Tektronix A6302
current probe (used with the AM503 current probe amplifier) or the Tektronix P6021 current
probe (use with the type 134 current probe amplifier). With either probe, the CT-5 extends
the measurement range by a factor of up to 1000X. The
CT-5 includes a pistol grip type handle with receptacles to accept the P6021 or A6302 in
either of two positions, providing a choice of two current ranges. A sliding jaw on the
transformer permits insertion of the current carrying conductor without breaking the
circuit under test. |
The core and shield assembly is
insulated from the windings and the handle allowing measurements on bare conductors with
potentials to 3000volts. The accessory high-voltage insulation may be used to extend the
allowable voltage to 14kV peak. The DC Bucking Coil
and interconnection assembly nullifies the saturating effects of dc currents to 300amperes
without appreciably degrading the transformer characteristics.
Summary:
- Max continuous AC current:1000A peak from 20Hz to 1.2Khz @
25degC ambient
- Max pulse current: 50,000A peak
- Max voltage isolation: 14kV peak
