The CWT Ultra-mini has an extremely thin, clip-around Rogowski coil of typically 1.6mm cross-section. Such a thin coil enables currents to be measured in the most difficult to reach parts of a power electronic converter with negligible disruption to the circuit under test.
Applications
Applications include measuring:
- Switching current waveforms in power electronic circuits, for example
- in MOSFET or IGBT devices as small as TO-220 or TO-47
- in bond wires in power devices
- to measure power losses in semiconductors
- monitoring currents in small inductors, capacitors, snubber circuits, etc
- Measuring small AC currents in the presence of large DC currents (e.g. monitoring capacitor ripple)
- Power converter development and diagnostics
- Measuring high frequency sinusoidal, pulsed or transient currents
- Measuring high order harmonics
