Ultra Low Capacitance Probe
ULCP
Accessory for use
with the PPA range
power analyzer in
applications where
capacitance
to
ground must be
minimized.
APPLICATION
In order to minimize high frequency noise components that may be present in a power measurement
application, most power analysis instruments incorporate high voltage decoupling capacitors at the
input stage of the voltage and current measurement channels. The capacitance to ground of a power
analyzer input channel is therefore a combination of parasitic and decoupling capacitance and this is
typically in the order of 50pF.
While this capacitance provides useful high frequency noise attenuation and is not detrimental to most
power measurement applications, it can in certain cases be problematic. Examples of this include
applications with high frequency high voltage waveforms such as high switching speed inverter drives
or where capacitive loading must be minimized such as the start up of low power ballasts.
SOLUTION
The Ultra Low Capacitance Probe uses a differential input arrangement that is optimized for minimum
capacitance to achieve an input capacitance to ground less than 1pF while maintaining an input
voltage range up to ±3kVpk.
OPERATION
The ULCP inputs are connected directly to the voltage connection points of a DUT and a touchproof
BNC cable connects the output of the ULCP to the external voltage input of a PPA series power
analyzer.
