PVM Series Portable High
Voltage Probes to 100 kV DC
PVM series high voltage probes are designed for
general use, and for exceptional high frequency
response. The probes have applications ranging from
automotive ignition to excimer laser system
measurement to EMI measurement. They are factory
calibrated, and they do not require adjustment. In
general the probes are for use with 1 Megohm
oscilloscopes, but we also offer an optional switch
which can compensate for various measurement instruments such as 10 Megohm meters
as well. These units are intended for a wide range of applications where portability and
ease of use are essential.

Add -2 to part number for 2000:1. 2000:1 may be slightly slower than 1000:1. Accuracy near the bandwidth is
affected by 3dB bandwidth considerations.
