1 Introduction Overview The Elditest CT4024 is an 8 kV High Voltage divider probe for use with both digital and analog oscilloscopes. Features Measures up to: 8 kV (DC + ACpk) or 6 kVrms AC 40 MHz bandwidth Voltage dividing of 1000:1 Frequency compensation caltestelectronics.com...
2 Using the Probe Connect the probe to the BNC input of the oscilloscope. Select the desired volts/division range on your oscilloscope. If possible, always turn the high voltage source off before connecting or disconnecting the probe. Connect the divider probe ground lead (alligator clip) to a good earth ground or reliable chassis ground.
3 Frequency Compensation Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure amplitude accuracy of the waveform being measured by matching the probe to the oscilloscope’s input capacitance. Compensation should be adjusted whenever the probe is connected to, or transferred between, oscilloscopes. The procedure is the same as for a x10 passive probe.
