What is a high voltage differential probe?

A high voltage differential probe is used for measuring the voltage difference between two test points where neither test point is at ground. These probes are the best choice for making non-ground referenced, floating or isolated measurements in large part due to their common mode rejection capability.

What is a differential probe used for?

A differential probe is used to look at signals that are referenced to each other instead of earth ground and to look at small signals in the presence of large DC offsets or other common mode signals such as power line noise.

What is the function of high voltage probe?

A high voltage probe allows an ordinary voltmeter to measure voltages that would otherwise be too high to measure or even destructive. It does this by reducing the input voltage to a safe, measurable level with a precision voltage divider circuit within the probe body.

What is voltage probe?

The Voltage Probe is a bipolar sensor. The black lead is grounded along with the interface, and the sensor reports the potential difference between the red lead and ground. It can be used to measure the potential in DC or AC circuits. You might also consider the Differential Voltage Probe.

High voltage differential probes provide high CMRR over a broad frequency range to simplify the measurement challenges found in noisy, high common-mode power electronics environments. The probe’s design is easy-to-use and enables safe, precise high voltage floating measurements.

What is a differential probe in oscilloscope?

Oscilloscope Probes. Differential active probes are like two probes in one. Instead of measuring a test point in relation to a ground point (like single-ended active probes), differential probes measure the difference in voltage of a test point in relation to another test point.

What is a hvd3000a probe used for?

The probe’s design is easy-to-use and enables safe, precise high voltage floating measurements. The HVD3000A series of high voltage differential probes cover the fullest range of applications, from 120/240 V switch-mode power supplies through 600 V class and 5 kV electrical apparatus.
