Current Probe Series

Current Probe Series

AVCP-series current probes are based on a series resistor and differential amplifier which generates an output voltage proportional to the current flowing through the resistor. Large series resistors are used to create a large voltage drop in order to measure extremely low currents in the order of uA and mA. Unlike current probes based on Hall effect sensors, AVCP-series current probes do not need to be demagnetized (degaussed) and can be used more easily over long periods of time.
