Getting Started

This section describes the P5210 High Voltage Differential Probe and
gives instructions on how to install and functionally test the probe.

Features and Accessories

The P5210 High Voltage Differential Probe shown in Figure 1
provides a safe means of measuring circuits with floating high
voltages. The probe outputs a low-voltage, ground-referenced signal
for display on instruments with the TEKPROBE interface (or any
oscilloscope or other measurement instrument when used with the
Tektronix 1103 TekProbe power supply).
The P5210 High Voltage Differential Probe probe allows clear and
accurate measurements of high-speed transitions and provides
excellent rejection of common-mode signals. Both inputs have high
impedance and low capacitance. Because of these features, the probe
can safely and accurately measure the fast voltage transients in
switching power devices without risk of damage.
Other applications for the P5210 High Voltage Differential Probe
include testing high-voltage motor control circuits and line
connected circuits in switch-mode power supplies.
