Product Usage Instructions
Operation Steps:
- Connect to the oscilloscope: Set the oscilloscope input impedance to 1M, connect the probe BNC end to the oscilloscope (ensure proper grounding).
- Power the probe: Use a standard adapter to power the probe. The indicator light turns green after power on.
- Connect the Device Under Test (DUT): Ensure the coil plug is inserted correctly and the wire or pin under test passes through the appropriate position of the coil.
- Power up the DUT.
- After test: Disconnect the circuit first, then unplug the coil.
- Disconnect probe power.
Safety Precautions:
- Use within safe voltage range.
- The equipment connected to the probe must be reliably grounded.
- Inspect the outer skin of the Rogowski coil before use. Stop using it if damaged.
- Ensure the circuit under test is turned off before connecting the probe.
- Use the adapter that comes standard with the probe.

Appearance
The RCP series current probe are composed of two parts: Integrator and Rogowski coil.
- Output: Standard BNC, compatible with all BNC oscilloscopes.
- Power supply: DC 12V, adapter
- Power indicator: Turn Green after powered on.
- Cable length: 1.5m,from integrator to coil, customizable.
- Rogowski coil inner diameter: 25mm, measures wires within 20mm in diameter.
- Rogowski coil cross-section diameter: 1.6mm
- Rogowski coil circumference: 80mm, customizable.
- Current direction: When the current flows in the marked direction, the output ispositive, otherwise it is negative.
Precautions
- to ensure accuracy, the wire being measured should be positionedas much as possible between X and Y in the right diagram, where X is the center of coil and Y is the midpoint of the coil circumference.
- to ensure accuracy, the wire should avoid the coil junction asmuch as possible during measurement (shadow area).
- try to stay away from strong magnetic field interference sources asmuch as possible to avoid measurement errors.
- the coil can be placed around the wire being measured to measurethe interference signals in the surrounding area, to determinewhether there is strong interference nearby.
Operation steps
- Connect to the oscilloscope: Set the oscilloscope input impedance to 1MΩ, connect the probe BNC end to oscilloscope (make sure the oscilloscope is properly grounded);
- Power the probe: Use standard adapter to power the probe. Indicator light turns green after power on;
- Connect the DUT: make sure that the coil plug is inserted in place and the wire or pin under test passes through the appropriate position of the coil.
- Power up the DUT.
- After test, disconnect the circuit first, then unplug the coil.
- Disconnect probe power.
