Data Sheet
Hybrid technology for AC and DC measurements
Using hybrid technology that includes a Hall-effect sensor and an AC current
transformer, the probes provide accurate measurement of DC or AC currents up to
500 Arms (for model N2780A) or DC–100 MHz (for model N2783A), without break-
ing into the circuit. Using split core construction, the probe easily clips on and off
of a conductor.
Wide range of applications
The current probes feature broad measurement ranges (up to 500 A), flat frequen-
cy response, low noise and low insertion loss that make the probes ideal for cur-
rent measurements in areas such as measuring steady state or transient current
of motor drives, switching power supplies, inverters, controllers, sensors, disk
drives, LCD displays, electronic ballasts and amplifiers. The high signal-to-noise
ratio of the N2782A and N2783A makes them ideal for making low-level current
measurements in milliampere ranges.
Accurate current measurement
A built-in DEMAG (demagnetize) function allows the removal of any residual
magnetism that has built up in the magnetic core due to power on/off switching
or excessive input current. In addition, voltage offset or temperature drift on the
probe can be easily corrected by using the zero adjustment control.
