The Tektronix P6021 AC Current Probe converts AC current waveforms into voltage signals for oscilloscope display and measurement instruments. Its split-core design allows non-invasive current measurement by clipping directly onto conductors without circuit interruption. The shielded probe head minimizes interference, while the open-slide design prevents accidental circuit grounding. This probe delivers fast transient response and precise current measurement across a wide frequency range, making it suitable for power electronics and avionics applications.
