Overview

The P5122 is a 200 MHz high-voltage passive probe designed for making safe, ground-referenced measurements in high-voltage environments. It is specifically engineered for use with Tektronix TPS2000 and THS3000 series oscilloscopes, providing a 100X attenuation to handle signals up to 1000 VRMS CAT II.

Why Choose This Part

The probe offers a high 200 MHz bandwidth, which is essential for capturing fast rise times in modern GaN and SiC power stages. Its 1000 V CAT II rating and integrated readout communication with compatible Tektronix scopes ensure accurate scaling and operator safety during high-energy testing.

Applications

Power Supply Design
Characterizing high-speed switching waveforms in AC-DC and DC-DC converters where high common-mode voltages are present.
Motor Drive Analysis
Measuring phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground voltages in industrial motor control systems.
Renewable Energy Systems
Evaluating inverter performance in solar and wind power electronics with DC-coupled requirements up to 1000 VRMS.
Floating Measurements
Used with isolated-channel oscilloscopes to capture differential-like signals in high-speed power circuits.

Getting Started

Ensure the probe is connected to a compatible Tektronix oscilloscope (TPS2000B or THS3000 series) to utilize the automatic scaling and readout features. Use the included grounding accessories to minimize inductance when measuring high-frequency switching transients.
