    Operating Basics To help you use the P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe safely and effectively, this section provides important information about safety limits, operating characteristics, and probing techniques. WARNING. Due to the inherent hazards associated with taking high-voltage measurements, the product is intended for use by qualified personnel who have had the training to make these types of measurements.

  • Page 18: Minimizing Risk Of Rf Burn (Probe Leads)

    If you need to use the probe within the risk area for RF burn, power down the source before connecting or disconnecting the probe leads. Maximum Input Limits CAUTION. To avoid damaging the input circuitry of the P5200 probe, do not apply a voltage that is more than 1,000 V CAT II between either input and ground or more than 1,300 V (DC + peak AC) between the two inputs.

  • Page 19: Operating Characteristics And Probing Techniques

    Operating Limits The P5200 probe has two operating ranges that you select with the ATTENUATION button on the front panel: H Select the 50X range for inputs of 0 V to 130 V (DC + peak AC).

    Common-Mode Rejection The common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is the specified ability of P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe to reject signals that are common to both inputs. More precisely, CMRR is the ratio of the differential gain to the common-mode gain. The higher the ratio, the greater the ability of probe to reject common-mode signals.

  • Page 21: Twisting The Input Leads

    Twisting the input leads as shown in Figure 4 on page 12 helps to cancel noise that is induced into the input leads, and to improve the high frequency response of the inputs. For the best response possible, do not use the extension leads. P5200 Instruction Manual...
