The Teledyne LeCroy T3CP50-50 is an AC/DC current probe delivering precise measurements up to 50 A across a 50 MHz bandwidth. Built on Hall Effect sensor technology, it enables real-time current characterization in power electronics, motor drive systems, and inverter development. The probe combines low noise floor performance with fast response time and high slew rate capability, making it suitable for both steady-state and transient current analysis in laboratory and automated test environments.
