CURRENT PROBING SYSTEM

摘要

A current probing system for acquiring a current signal from a current carrying conductor (14) has a current diverting element (30,32,34) mounted on the conductor for serially coupling the current signal to a current probe (15). The current probe has a probe body and first and second electrically conductive contacts extending from one end of the probe body for connecting to the current diverting element. A current sensing circuit is coupled to the first and second electrically conductive contacts for generating an output signal representative of the current flowing in the current carrying conductor. An electrically conductive cable is coupled to receive the output signal from the current sensing device and extends from the other end of the probe body for coupling to an oscilloscope (12).
