The GW Instek GCP-0550 is a professional AC/DC current probe for oscilloscopes. This probe clamps around a conductor to measure both alternating and direct current from DC up to 5MHz, at levels as high as 500A. Furthermore, this probe measures current without breaking the circuit, so live readings are straightforward.
The GCP series is compatible with a wide range of GW Instek oscilloscopes, including the GDS-3000A, GDS-3000, MPO-2000, MSO-2000EA, MDO-2000A, MDO-2000E, GDS-2000A, GDS-2000E, GDS-1000B and GDS-900 series. Each probe ships with its own power adapter, and the optional GCP-206P and GCP-425P power supplies drive several probes at once. Contact us to configure the right combination.
