Product Description

The Tektronix A621 current probe enables the display of current

waveforms up to 1000 amps RMS on Tektronix TDS, TAS, or

general purpose oscilloscopes. The A621 is especially useful where

the display and measurement of distorted current waveforms and

harmonics is required. The A621 is also compatible with DMMs by

using the BNC-to-banana plug adapter (recommended accessory, see

page 17 for more information).

Operating Basics

WARNING. Do not clamp the probe onto circuits with voltages greater

than 600 VAC. Personal injury or damage to the probe may result.

Always connect the probe to the instrument before clamping onto the

circuit under test.

Connect the probe BNC connector to the oscilloscope input. Start

by setting the oscilloscope channel vertical coupling to AC volts,

the vertical deflection to 0.1 V/div, and the probe to 1 mV/A.

Connect the probe to the circuit by opening the jaws and

clamping around the conductor. See Figure 1. Note: Clamping

around both the “hot” and neutral wires may give you a zero

reading.

disconnecting it from your meter or instrument.)

Operating Basics

Adjust the probe range and scope channel as necessary to get a

clear view of the signal.

The current drawn by some devices will look much different than

that of others. While the RMS current may be low, the momentary

peaks may be quite high. Figure 2 shows the difference between the

line current drawn by a resistive load and a motor controller.

Operating Basics

If you are using the A621 with a multimeter, use the BNC-to-banana

adapter (recommended accessory) to connect the probe. Connect the

black lead to the meter COM, and the red lead to the VΩinput. Set

the meter to the AC Volts position.

To increase the measurement sensitivity of the A621, loop additional

turns of the wire under test through the jaws. See Figure 3. The

sensitivity of the A621 will be multiplied times the number of loops

in the jaws. For example: 10 mV/A X 4 turns = 40 mV/A.
