You can go beyond conventional boundaries thanks to its high bandwidth, variable ranges, total galvanic isolation, and incredibly low noise. It is perfect for low noise measurements on current shunts in floating parts of power circuits.

Product Description

Product Overview

For measuring current, the TICP Series IsoVu™ isolated current probes offer outstanding bandwidth, noise rejection, accuracy, and user-friendliness. Very strong common mode rejection is made possible by complete galvanic separation, which also removes ground loops. The 50 Ω input of the TICP Series probe in a 1X configuration provides incredibly low noise of less than 4.7 nV/√Hz, which is perfect for taking precise measurements on shunts. To increase the differential voltage range, the probes provide a range of attenuation tips. The probes can monitor currents ranging from microamperes (µA) for low-power mobile designs to hundreds of amperes for industrial and mobility systems, depending on the shunt that is utilized.

Complete Galvanic Separation

Eliminates ground loops and provides industry-leading common mode rejection performance across high frequencies.

Ultra-Low Noise Input

Noise density under 4.7 nV/√Hz with a 50 Ω input (1X configuration), tailored for precise low-voltage shunt observations.

Dynamic Current Range

Versatile measurement capability scaling from microamperes (µA) up to hundreds of amperes depending on the chosen shunt.
