Com-Power CLCE-438 Monitoring Probe for CISPR MIL-STD 461 & DO-160

I Introduction to CLCE-438:

In general, RF current probes are used to monitor or measure asymmetrically disturbed RF currents on wires, cables, or cable bundles without making direct conductive contact with the power conductor. Current is measured inductively by clamping the probe around the conductor(s) under test. No physical contact is made with the conductor(s) and the insulation remains intact. Essentially, a current probe is a toroidal transformer in which the conductor(s) acts as a primary loop and the probe acts as a multi-turn secondary.
