*1The P5122 probe should not be used for AC-coupled measurements on signals with greater than 300 V DC

offset. The P5120 is the recommended probe for measuring ripple on high-voltage DC supplies.

Applications

In many applications, it is important to be able to isolate the measurement
from earth ground and also to isolate t he common voltage between
channels. The P5120 or P5122, coupled with the TPS2000 Series digital

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 7-30 pF. A
variety of screw-on accessories provide easy connection to the device
under test.

P6015A High-v

For heavy-duty high-performance measurements of voltages over 2.5 kV,
the P6015A is
to 20 kV
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 7-49 pF
compensation range, 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

Note: Using the readout version with other than Tektronix digital scopes
may result i
