I have a need to look at some current waveforms with my Tek scope, and haven't been able to find much to my liking on ebay, etc for brand-name current probes. Some don't do what I want, some cost as much as the scope itself.
Has anyone built a simple current probe with the following rough specs:
measures currents for DC, AC, and switched DC waveforms
about 100A or so range, with decent resoluton compatible with range, for taking measurements on RE systems and devices
about 100KHz bandwidth
plugs into BNC connectors on an older scope
able to clamp around cables up to about 1/2" diameter
I have several voltage probes, so maybe some calibrated current-to-voltage converter would make sense.
Has anyone home-built anything like this, that would be fairly easy to build, use easy to get parts, and have reasonable accuracy?
