CWT Mini50HF
The CWTMini50HF is a special edition of the CWTMiniHF range.
The CWTMini50HF is optimised for faster switching devices such as SiC and has a high frequency (-3dB) bandwidth of 50MHz with a 100mm coil at just 3.5mm thickness (2kV peak insultation).
As with CWTMiniHF range it combines an innovative screened Rogowski coil providing excellent immunity to interference from fast local dV/dt transients or large 50/60Hz voltages with excellent high frequency performance.
The CWT range is ideal for power electronic applications, such as monitoring semiconductor switching waveforms or for measurements in electrically noisy environments. The easy-to-use thin, flexible, clip-around coil accurately replicates fast switching current waveforms be they sinusoidal, quasi sinusoidal or pulsed.

The CWTMini50HF is useful for measuring currents in power converters that use these new power semiconductor technologies, in particular Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices, where rise-times of the order of 10 to 50ns need to be accurately replicated in the presence of dV/dt transients of ≥ 40V/ns.
The CWTMini50HF offers significant advantages for measurements in high speed power and power electronic applications.
