Yokogawa Test & Measurement Releases PBDH0400 Series High-voltage, Wide-bandwidth Differential Probe

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces the release of the PBDH0400 Series differential probe with a maximum input voltage of 2000 V and a frequency bandwidth of 400 MHz. The PBDH0400 Series meets the measurement requirements for the development of next-generation higher-speed power devices that can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

The PBDH0400 Series will initially launch with two models: 702922 with a maximum input voltage of 2000 V, and 702921 with a maximum input voltage of 1000 V.

The PBDH0400 Series offers measurements of high voltages over 1000 V and a wide frequency range to allow the accurate waveform observation of faster-changing signals that is required for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. This is particularly beneficial for developers of next-generation inverters, enabling accurate observation of minute changes in high-speed signals, such as switching signals. In addition, the excellent noise resistance, allows the detection of events that can cause unexpected anomalies, including waveform overshoot and ringing.

The PBDH0400 Series features the Yokogawa probe interface, which eliminates the need for power supply from an external power source when connected to a Yokogawa oscilloscope. This saves both cost and installation space. Additionally, the probe attenuation ratio is automatically set through the interface to allow measurement to start immediately after connection to the instrument. Combining the PBDH0400 with the 12-bit DLM5000HD or DLM3000HD oscilloscopes enables high-voltage, wide- bandwidth, and high-resolution measurement (more info).
