Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
I did look at making one with a Hall sensor - the electronics isn't a problem but the difficulty arises (for me at least) in cutting the slot in a ferrite ring to put the sensor in or even splitting

Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
I checked on ebay and the cheapest adapter I could find was almost $20; not very sensitive (1 mV per Ampere) and no idea of bandwidth. If anyone knows of a project to create a current probe I would be

Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
Mine has a bandwidth of 20KHz (probably 1/2 that is usable) which is more than adequate for my needs. The only problem with it is the zero drifts, but I can live with that. Dave

Re: A cautionary tale ...
Talk about it ! :-/ I had my 2232 for a year, was working just fine. Then I had to do some work on it, UNrelated to the PSU. Once I was done, put it back together, went for a test drive to make sure

Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
If you only need low frequency the LEM brand hall effect sensors, I believe Allegro also makes chip based ones, can be an option. Also remember you can put 10 turns through if you need more

TIP: Current Probes ...
I quite often have a need to sense small currents (~10-200mA) and have always wanted a clamp on current probe but even the used ones for a scope are out of my budget. A series resister is one solution

Consider the time scale on Leo's plots and the response of the scope he's using which is what you are seeing in the calibration plot. I can't find my plot right now as my bench is undergoing at

There were a couple different types of plastic used for tool handles, and one develops a white film as it decomposes. I've only seen it in colored handles, but once it starts, it seems to keep eating

That hasn't been my experience, and the same wrench was sold with or without the plastic cover. They have the same weight, since their isn't that much plastic. It was pre 'Cooper Tools' manufactured
