North Star Special-Purpose Voltage Probes

Brand: North Star
Origin: United States

VD-B special-purpose voltage probes offer different voltage ratings and custom interface options.

Key specification options

Maximum DC/pulse voltage (kV): 60/80 / 120/160 / 240/300 and more
Maximum frequency (Mhz.): 15 / 8 / 6
Cable impedance (ohms): Standard 50 ohm or custom as required
Accuracy, DC - 2 Hz.: <1% / <1.5%
Accuracy, 2 Hz. - 200 Hz.: <2 % / <3 %
Accuracy, 200 Hz. - 1 Mhz.: <2.5 % / <3 % / <3.5 %

Measurement and application

High voltage measurement requires the probe, cable and receiving instrument to be considered together. The waveform, test medium, measurement location and grounding arrangement all influence the setup.

Selection and connections

Specify whether the task concerns DC, AC or pulses, and describe the test environment and instrument input. Follow the selected model instructions for installation, grounding and operation. Suitability under one set of conditions does not establish suitability under another.
