P6021 Probe
Figure 1: The P6021 Probe and termination
Attach the probe to the termination as shown in Figure 1.
An alligator-style ground clip is supplied to improve EMI rejection at high
frequencies (2 MHz and above). Snap the ground lead to the probe transformer
post and attach the alligator clip directly to RF ground. This will reduce ringing
and help bypass capacitively-coupled RF currents that can flow into the probe
cable.
WARNING. To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not disconnect the
probe termination and leave the P6021 clamped around the conductor when you
measure high currents. If you leave the probe cable unterminated, you can cause
a high voltage to develop in the secondary winding, which may damage the
current probe transformer.
