| Differential probe for offline PFC'd PSU |

Thanks yes i must admit those Telonic prices are a lot better than some others. |

Thanks for these great answers, and thanks jc101 i now have the micsig diff probe and its very good. Of course, when i probe the current sense resistor (burden) of my PFC it is just full of pickup as these diff probes have each probe on separate lead......so i think i will still need to buy an isolation transformer so that i can use a home-brew coaxial probe to look at it without so much common mode junk in the way. Alternatively i woudl like to take the back off the scope, measure the DC output of the offline SMPS... disconnect it, then feed in a isolated DC supply and then i have a floating scope. Its a Tenma 72-8225 |

Thanks, the output current of the secondary is just 100mA peak, so i dont think i can buy current probe to see that small? |
| jc101:
The current probes from Teleonic will see that, I was using them down to 15ma just fine. I can look the model number out tomorrow. |
