Tektronix TPP0850

A high voltage single-ended probe is typically used for measuring ground referenced signals up to 40 kV. However, some single-ended probes are designed for oscilloscopes with isolated or floating inputs for measurements that are not ground referenced. Users should select probes with a low input capacitance specification (< 4 pF) to minimize the probe’s loading effect on the circuit because a probe with lower input capacitance will offer higher input impedance at higher frequencies.

Safe high voltage probe solutions for ground-referenced voltage testing. It is critical to safely and accurately capture real-time signal information from "elevated" or "floating" voltage systems. Our portfolio of high voltage probes provides the safety you need for single-ended, differential or isolated measurements.

The TPP0850 offers the industry's highest bandwidth probe (800 MHz) for high-voltage signals (up to 2500 Vp-p). This is ideal for testing power semiconductors and switch-mode power supplies, which continue to increase in switching speed to minimize power loss, creating a need for faster rise time, higher bandwidth, and higher voltage probes.

The TPP0850 meets this need and can be used with switching transistor circuits operating at 1000 VRMS, above the voltage operating range of standard general-purpose probes. It will also be able to accommodate emerging power applications that will require even faster rise time capabilities.
