The PMK LILCO series precision wideband RF current and pulse current sensor CT features excellent droop characteristics; its bandwidth of up to 60 MHz is suitable for high-transient-current measurements such as large-scale scientific electromagnetic pulses, EMC, pulse currents, and surge currents.
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 precision high-bandwidth AC current measurement required for various measurement applications. The current transformers can accurately measure large pulse or continuous input currents, while electrical shielding between input and output reduces the effect of electromagnetic fields on the output.
Galvanic isolation between input and output enables 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 allows easy connection to various measurement devices with only a standard 50 Ω coaxial cable, such as oscilloscopes, digitizers, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, and digital multimeters.
By changing the input termination of the measuring instrument, low-frequency performance and enhanced I·t capability can be improved, and the output signal can be attenuated. The LILCO® series ATT10BNCS attenuator 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 accurate measurements in a single document.®
The LILCO wideband pulse 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 wideband 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.
Main features:
1. Wideband response
Bandwidth range: 0.004Hz to 60MHz, capable of fast response to changes in current signals, suitable for accurate measurement at high frequencies.
Interference immunity: the wideband-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 fully 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
Accurate 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 more difficult to burn out, reducing the risk of damage under high currents or rapidly changing currents.
4. Wide test current range
Current range: Supports current measurement from the mA level to the 25kA level, meeting the measurement needs of different industrial and electronic equipment.
Multi-scenario applicability: From low current to high current, the probe maintains stable performance and is suitable for various scenarios such as power grids, communications, and automotive electronics.
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 1250V, meeting measurement needs in high-voltage environments.
6. Flexible operation
Inner diameter compatibility: The inner diameter is 13mm~89mm, meeting the interface requirements of different circuit boards or equipment and providing flexible installation options.
The PMK LILCO series has secured a place in the market mainly due to its good I-t characteristic curve and resistance to burnout. If you frequently use CT for measurement and also need to consider the issue of probe magnetic saturation, LILCO will be your choice.
