Hello, For work I'm looking to replace our high current pulse measurement setup. We are currently using a CT5 Tektronix with a TCP312A current probe and a TCPA300 amplifier. The current pulse are max 1600Apeak, rise time 20A/us (might be higher as this could be limited by the measurement setup), tpulse max 50ms. The measure needs to be isolated, as the current conductor is about 500V above earth. I am aware that what we are trying to measure is outside what the probes are design for, but we don't have anything better… The PEM CWT15 / CWT mini 15 (https://tinyurl.com/28p9bphw) or a Pearson Electronic (maybe a 4418) (https://tinyurl.com/4c6fmjcu) would be a good choice, but these are pretty expensive. Do anyone knows a better way to measure such current? A shunt with an amplifier would be for sure easy and affordable, but the isolation is missing... |

We use a scope as a digitiser, so not really an option.... |

I'd use a shunt and an isolation amplifier for these sort of measurements. An oscilloscope with isolated inputs is even more convenient. I have a Yokogawa oscilloscope with isolated inputs and 12 bit resolution. |
