P5120.
P5100 High Voltage Probe
The P5100 is a low-input capacitance
High Voltage Probe (2.5 kV) designed for
higher frequency applications. The probe
can be compensated to match plug-ins
and oscilloscopes with nominal input
capacitances of 7 to 30 pF. A variety of
screw-on accessories provide easy
connection to the device under test.
P5102 & P5120 IsolatedChannel
TM
Applications
In many applications, it is important to be
able to isolate the measurement from
earth ground and also to isolate the
common voltage between channels.
The P5102, paired with the THS700
Series handheld digital storage
oscilloscopes, and the P5120, coupled
with the TPS2000 Series digital storage
oscilloscopes, deliver both the isolation
for the measurement from earth ground
and full isolation between the channels.
The 100 MHz P5102 is designed to give
you isolated channel performance for up
to 1,000 V
CAT II when used with the
RMS
THS700 Series oscilloscopes. The
200 MHz P5120 passive high voltage
probe, for use with the TPS2000 Series
oscilloscopes, is designed to give you up
to 1,000 V
CAT II of isolated channel
RMS
performance. A variety of screw-on
adapters are available for easy connec-
tion to the device under test.

P6015A High Voltage Probe
For heavy-duty, high-performance meas-
urements of voltages over 2.5 kV, the
P6015A is the industry standard. You can
measure DC voltages up to 20 kV
RMS
and
pulses up to 40 kV (peak, 100 ms duration).
The 75 MHz bandwidth enables you to
capture fast, high-voltage signals.
The P6015A uses an environmentally safe
silicone compound for a dielectric and
never needs refilling. Other features
include a 7 to 49 pF compensation range,
a small compensation box that fits on
adjacent amplifier inputs and a readout
option for use with most Tektronix digital
scopes. With the readout option, displayed
voltage amplitude values will be the actual
signal value rather than understated by a
factor of 1,000.
Note: Using the readout version with
other than Tektronix digital scopes may
result in an erroneous readout display.
