Most sensitive & fastest current transformer
The Fast Current Transformer (FCT) is a wideband AC transformer with a rise time down to 175ps and a bandwidth up to 2GHz. Applications include measurements of:
Pulsed beams in particle accelerators
Partial discharge pulses from corona wires, in insulation defects
Pulsed beams in particle accelerators
Current rise in semiconductor gates, triggers
Surge current waveforms in EMI/EMC analysis
Capacitive discharge pulses
New technology
Used world-wide on all high-energy particle accelerator to observe very short beam pulses. Exceptional bandwidth and sensitivity are achieved by using amorphous cobalt-based alloy cores specially annealed in a magnetic field to obtain very high permeability and low loss at frequencies to 2 GHz.
FCT can be embedded inside a conflat flange for direct mounting on the beam pipe. See In-Flange.CT
Available in six different apertures ranging from 16mm up to 178mm.
Larger apertures are available on request.
