Electric test probe P5200A

high-frequency

Overview
A high voltage differential probe measures the voltage difference between two points when neither point is at ground potential. Tektronix high voltage differential probes support measurements on floating or isolated circuits and are available for signal levels up to ±6000 V on selected models. These probes are engineered for strong common-mode rejection to enable accurate non-ground-referenced measurements.

Tektronix high voltage differential probe solutions offer:

• Best-in-class bandwidth and low probe loading for precise signal capture
• Third-party safety certifications on selected models (UL, CSA, ETL)
• Wide range of attenuation and voltage ratings to match dynamic range requirements
• Extensive set of probe accessories and adapters for oscilloscope compatibility
