    (top on the figure) should be connected to the load, ground shunt contact (bottom in the figure) should be connected to HV coaxial cable ground contact. Fig. 2. The drawing of CS-10/500 current measurement shunt. CS-10/500 shunt user manual...
  • Page 8: Putting The Shunt Into Operation

    The shunt should be installed in the break of the load ground wire, i.e. between HV coaxial cable ground wire (cable braid) and load ground contact (please see Fig.3). Fig. 3. Set up of CS-10/500 current measurement shunt serially with the load. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
  • Page 9 Step 4. Set the following oscilloscope operation regime (see Fig. 5): Input impedance of the oscilloscope channel – 50 Ohm; External attenuation – 100:1 (100x); Couping – DC; Bandwidth – full; Scale 50 V/div or 100 V/div. CS-10/500 shunt user manual...
  • Page 10 Fig. 6. The simultaneous pulse voltage and current measurement by Tektronix P6015A probe and CS-10/500 shunt is shown in Fig. 7. Please connect the oscilloscope ground clip contact just to the ground contact of the shunt. It should be noted that simultaneous voltage-current measurement may lead to higher interference and noisy registered signal.
