CT2 (TEKTRONIX)

The CT2 from Tektronix is an AC current probe. It is designed for permanent or semi-permanent in-circuit installation. The probe 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 P6041 probe cable provides the connection between CT2 Current Transformers and a BNC oscilloscope input. A 50 ohm termination is required to terminate the cable when connected to a high-impedance (1Mohm) oscilloscope input. One probe cable can be used to monitor several current transformers that have been wired into a circuit. Typical applications include data storage read channel design, silicon characterization, high-frequency analogue design, ESD testing, signal injection, differential current measurements, single-shot low rep-rate pulse measurements and propagation delay measurements.
