Safety Terms and Symbols Terms in This Manual These terms may appear in this manual: WARNING Warning statements identify conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life. CAUTION Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to this product or other property.
P6022 Current Probe Service Safety Summary Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Read this Service Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary before performing any service procedures. Do Not Service Alone Do not perform internal service or adjustments of this product unless anoth er person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
1 MW input impedance. The P6022 probe comes with a passive termination that matches oscilloscope and probe impedance, optimizes the probe performance, and provides two sensitivity settings. In the standard configuration, the P6022 probe comes with a 5 foot cable and termination. The following option is also available. Option 03...
CAUTION To avoid damaging the probe, do not disconnect the probe ter mination and leave the P6022 clamped around the conductor when measuring high currents. Leaving the probe cable unterminated can cause a high voltage to develop in the secondary winding which may damage the current probe transformer.
Your P6022 is shipped with the following accessories: This instruction manual Read these instructions to familiarize your self with the features, specifications, and operation of the P6022 current probe. 6 inch ground lead Use the 6 inch ground lead to ground the shield around the probe transformer at the probe end of the cable.
Considerations Features and Controls Sensitivity Control The P6022 termination has a control that allows you to select probe sensitivity. The switch has two positions: 1 mA/mV and 10 mA/mV. When the control is in the 1 mA/mV position, the oscillo scope displays 1 mV for every 1 mA of current in the circuit under test.
When you insert a conductor into the probe, you add impedance to the circuit you are measuring. This additional impedance affects signals; this is particularly important if you are measuring fast rise times. Figure 2 illustrates the equivalent circuit with additional impedance introduced by the P6022. 0.6 mH 0.2 nH .025 W...
Probe Shielding The P6022 is shielded to minimize the effect of external magnetic fields. However, strong fields can interfere with the current signal being measured. If you suspect that an external field is interfering with your measurement, remove the probe from the conductor, but keep it in the same location as when you made the suspect measurement.

Procedures 1. Insert a small screwdriver between the cover and the termination near the part number, and gently pry up the top cover only from the P6022 termination by twisting the screwdriver. Leave the bottom cover on, as it must remain in place whenever the termination is in use.
Step 2: Set the calibration generator to Fast Rise. Step 3: Connect the P6022 cable BNC connector to the termination. Step 4: Connect the P6022 termination to the oscilloscope Ch 1 input. Step 5: Set the P6022 termination sensitivity to 1 mA/mV.

Step 1: Set the oscilloscope time/division to 10 ms. Step 2: Set the oscilloscope vertical deflection to 10 mV/div. Step 3: Check that the P6022 termination sensitivity is set to 1 mA/mV. Step 4: Disconnect the P6022 termination from the oscilloscope.
Check Low Frequency Response Step 1: Connect the current probe calibration fixture to the FG 501A function generator output using the appropriate adapter. Step 2: Connect the probe to the current probe calibration fixture. Step 3: Set the termination sensitivity to 1 mA/mV. Step 4: Set the function generator for a 50 kHz sine wave output.
Step 17: Check that the sine wave generator frequency is 100 MHz. (If you are using an oscilloscope with a bandwidth t200 MHz, the re sponse may be t100 MHz.) When you are done, disconnect all test equipment and replace the termina tion cover. P6022 Instruction Manual...
Maintenance The information in this section will help you maintain your probe for a long service life. Cleaning To clean the probe body, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. To clean the core, open the jaw and clean the exposed core surfaces with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol (isopro panol) or ethyl alcohol (fotocol or ethanol).
