APEC 2025 test equipment: oscilloscopes and probes

March 24, 2025 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

oscilloscope and probes in power electronics

Oscilloscopes and probes play a vital role for engineers designing and testing power electronics. Delivering electrical power to analog and digital circuits and systems is more than just DC measurements. That’s because nearly all power-converter circuits use switching techniques to maximize efficiency. Silicon carbide (SiC and gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, with their higher voltage and […]

Isolated current probes eliminate ground loops

November 15, 2024 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

Tektronix IsoVue Isolated current probe

IsoVu isolated current probes from Tektronix isolate oscilloscopes from circuits used for EVs, motors, and power converters. Trying to make shunt-based current measurements with a typical oscilloscope probe is essentially impossible. That’s because one side of the probe connects to ground through the instrument. Using an ungrounded power cord is anything but safe. Differential probes […]

RF-isolated current probe achieves 140 dB CMRR at DC

November 12, 2024 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

Tektronix has released two new power measurement devices: the TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes and the EA-PSB 20000 Triple series power supply. The TICP Series probes utilize RF isolation technology for current measurements across voltage systems. The probes achieve 140 dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) at DC and up to 90 dB at 1 […]

APEC 2024: Test equipment

March 14, 2024 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

Test equipment is everywhere. Every trade show has it regardless of the focus. Power is no exception. At APEC 2024, EE World visited several booths displaying test equipment: meters, oscilloscopes, source-measure units (SMUs), bench power supplies, and electronic loads. The photos and videos below highlight what we saw, presented in alphabetical order by company. In […]

Product tryout: Tektronix 4 Series B oscilloscope

December 21, 2023 By Martin Rowe 2 Comments

oscilloscope histogram

EE World gets its hands dirty on the latest Tektronix 4 Series B oscilloscope. So many features, so little time. When Tektronix gave the press a preview of the 4 Series B 12-bit mixed-signal oscilloscope and TekScope software, I asked to try the software. Days later, the real thing arrived in a transit case. Fortunately […]
