Inductance Measurements
You can use the current probe to measure the inductan ce of coils that have either a low-impedance or high-imp edance pulse
source of a known value.
Low-Impedance Pulse Sources
This fi gure shows a constant-voltage pulse
generator of extremely low output impedance
connected to an inductor tha t has low
resistance.
1. Connect the inductor across the ou tput
terminals of the pulse generator.
2. Maintain a constant voltage across the
inductor.
3. Clamp the current probe over one of the
source leads.
NOTE. If the probe impedance is a significant
part of the total circuit inductance, measurement
accuracy will be affected. Refer to the probe
specifications for probe insertion impedance.
