7. You will now be able to analyze
the voltage waveform on your
oscilloscope.
8. Turn off the high voltage
source.
9. Disconnect the High Voltage
Probe from the high voltage
source BEFORE disconnecting
the ground clip lead.
WARNING
Do not exceed 60 seconds of contact
between this probe and any circuit with
voltages ≥8 kV DC, ≥5 kV
rms
AC, or ≥15
kV
pk-pk
AC. Wait for 5 minutes between
such measurements.
3 Frequency Compensation
Proper compensation of the probe is
required to assure amplitude accuracy of
the waveform being measured by matching
the probe to the oscilloscope’s input
capacitance. Compensation should be
adjusted whenever the probe is connected
to, or transferred between, oscilloscopes.
The procedure is the same as for a x10
passive probe.
• Connect the probe to the
oscilloscope.
• Connect probe tip to square-wave
generator.
• Adjust the square wave generator for
10 V amplitude.
