PMK LILCO series precision broadband RF current/pulse-current sensor CT, with excellent droop characteristics; bandwidth up to 60 MHz supports high-transient-current measurement such as large-scale scientific electromagnetic pulses, EMC, pulse currents, surge currents, etc.
The LILCO® series PMK current transformers have a bandwidth range from mHz to >60 MHz and an input current range from mA to 20 kA, enabling the precision high-bandwidth AC current measurement required for various measurement applications. The current transformer can accurately measure large pulsed or continuous input currents, while electrical shielding between input and output reduces the influence of electromagnetic fields on the output.
Current isolation between input and output allows the LILCO® series to be used in measurement setups with large potential differences or in setups where unwanted currents (such as ground loops) occur between input and output.
The BNC output of the LILCO® series current transformers enables easy connection to various measurement instruments, such as oscilloscopes, digitizers, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, and digital multimeters, using only a standard 50Ω coaxial cable.
By changing the input termination of the measuring instrument, low-frequency performance and I·t capability can be improved, and the output signal can be attenuated. The LILCO® series attenuator ATT10BNCS is used to further improve these specifications while maintaining the high-frequency performance of the current transformer.
The LILCO® series inner diameter (in centimeters) is included in each model:
For example, 13E1000 = 13mm (0.5''), 26G0100 = 26mm (1.0''), 52GH010 = 52mm (2.0''), 58M1000 = 58mm (2.2''), 89M0100 = 89mm (3.5'')
All LILCO® current transformers are supplied with a factory calibration certificate.
The dedicated instruction manual for the LILCO series contains much valuable information on the general limitations of using current transformers and how to perform precise measurements in a single document.®
The LILCO broadband pulsed current transformer probe is a high-performance probe designed specifically for high-frequency current measurement and can operate stably in complex current environments. Its design not only meets the requirements for broadband response and durability but also demonstrates excellent performance in droop characteristics, I-t saturation curves, and high-temperature resistance. The probe inner diameter ranges from 13mm to 89mm, suitable for the interface requirements of different circuit boards or equipment.
Key features:
1. Broadband response
Bandwidth range: 0.004Hz to 60MHz, enabling fast response to changes in current signals and suitable for precise measurement at high frequencies.
Interference immunity: the broadband-response design enables the probe to maintain accurate signal transmission in complex current environments.
2. Excellent droop characteristics
Complete waveform reproduction: after external impact or drop, the probe can still completely reproduce the true waveform, avoiding signal distortion or data loss.
Impact resistance: suitable for industrial environments requiring high reliability, such as power grid monitoring and communication systems.
3. Excellent I-t saturation curve
Precise measurement: the probe has a good I-t saturation curve and can accurately capture instantaneous and continuous current values, ensuring the accuracy of measurement data.
Durability: the I-t saturation curve design makes the probe less prone to burnout and reduces the risk of damage under high currents or rapidly changing currents.
4. Wide test current range
Current range: supports current measurement from mA to 25 kA, meeting the measurement needs of different industrial and electronic equipment.
Applicable to multiple scenarios: From low current to high current, the probe maintains stable performance and is suitable for power grids, communications, automotive electronics, and other scenarios.
5. Durable and reliable
High-temperature environment adaptability: The probe can operate normally in high-temperature environments from -55℃ to 155℃, suitable for harsh industrial measurement environments.
High-voltage withstand capability: The input voltage can reach 1250 V, meeting measurement needs in high-voltage environments.
6. Flexible operation
Inner diameter compatibility: The inner diameter of 13 mm to 89 mm meets the interface requirements of different circuit boards or equipment and provides flexible installation options.
The PMK LILCO series has a place in the market mainly due to its favorable I-t characteristic curve and resistance to burnout. If you frequently use CT for measurement and also need to consider probe magnetic saturation, LILCO is the appropriate choice.
