P5205 Instructi on Manual

Getting Started

This section describes the High Voltage Differential Probe and gives

instructions on how to install and functionally test the probe.

Features and Accessories

The P5205 probe shown in Figure 1 provides a safe means of

measuring circuits with floating high voltages. The probe outputs a

low-voltage, ground-referenced signal for display on instruments

with the TEKPROBE interface (or any oscilloscope or other

measurem ent instrument when used with the Tektronix 1103

TEKPROBE power supply).

To protect you from RF and high voltage, the case of the probe is

nonconductive, internally shielde d, and isola ted. The internal shield

connect s t o earth ground through the output l ead. The case of the

probe and control buttons are isolated and double insulated. Thi s

protection extends up to the full input rating of the probe.

The accessories supplied with the probe meet the same safety

standards as t he probe. You may use other acc essories if they are

approved for the maximum voltage present in your application and

have the same style and size connectors.

The P5205 probe allows clear and accurate measurements of

high-speed transitions and provides excel lent rejection of common-

mode signals. B oth inputs have high impedance and low capaci tance.

Because of these features, the probe can safely measure the fast

voltage tra nsients in switching power devices without damaging

them.

Other applications for the P5205 probe include testing high-volt age

motor control circuits and line-connected circuits in switch-mode

power supplies.

For a complete list of replaceable accessories and part ordering

information, see the Replaceable Parts section, starting on page 35.

Getting Started

P5205 Instructi on Manual

Figure 1: High Voltage Differential Probe

Getting Started

P5205 Instructi on Manual

The P5205 has several features and accessories that make probing

and measurement a simpler task. Take a moment to familiarize

yourself with these items and their uses.

Differential Inputs. The inputs are rated to safely accept

a maximum of 1,000 V

RMS

CAT II between either

input and earth ground and a maximum difference of

1,300 V (DC + peak AC) between the inputs.

NOTE. The input safety ratings are valid for both

attenuation range settings. However, for useful

measurem ents, the input should be kept to the

operating limits of the selected attenuation range of

130 V up to 1,300 V (DC + peak AC).

Attenuation R ange. In the raised position the range

button sets the attenuation to 500X. In the lowered

position the range button sets the attenuation to 50X.

Use the 500X position for measurements up to a

maximum of 1,300 V (DC + peak AC) differential. Use

the 50X position for better signal resolution on

connections below 130 V (DC + peak AC).

Overrange Indicator. The overrange indicator lights red

if the voltage of the input signal exceeds the linear

operating range of the probe. When this happens, the

signal on the probe output does not accurately represent

the signal on the probe input.

Audible Overrange. In the raised position the overrange

button sets the audible al arm to sound whenever the

overrange indicator lights.

Bandwidth Select. In the raised position the bandwidth

button sets the full bandwidth (100 MHz minimum). In

the lowered position t he bandwidth is restricted to

approximately 5 MHz.

Getting Started

P5205 Instructi on Manual

Input Leads. The input leads of the differential probe

connect to the crocodile clips and plunger clamps that

come with the probe. The connectors are 4 mm

insulated banana plugs and are double insulated for

safety.

NOTE. Use only accessories that are rated to the

maximum input voltage of the P5205 probe.

Extension Leads and Adapters. To measure the potenti al

between widely separated points, connect the ext ension

leads to the input leads with the supplied a dapters. Use

both extension leads to minimize distortion caused by

mismatched lead length.

NOTE. Above 10 MHz, the extension leads degrade the

high frequency performance of the P5205 probe. See

Figure 4 on page 14.

Plunger Clamps. The plunger clamps have long sleeves

with retracting hooks. These clamps connect safely to

recessed test points that are otherwise difficult to reach.

The connectors are double insulated for safety.

Crocodile Clips. The large insulated clips connect easily

to large bolts or bus bars. The connectors are double

insulated for safety.

TEKPROBE Interface. The TEKPROBE interface

provides power, signal, and probe characteristic data

transfer.

If your oscilloscope does not support the TEKPROBE

interface, you can use the optional 1103 probe power

supply as an effective interface. Contact your local

Tektronix representative for more information.

Getting Started

P5205 Instructi on Manual

Zero Adjust. T he zero adjust allows you t o set t he probe

output to the zero reference point prior to making

measurements. Use the adjustment tool provided.

Soft Case. T h e soft c ase protects the probe and allows

you to hang the probe near the point of measurement.

Install or remove the case by opening the access doors

on the back.

When not in use, coil the leads and secure them with

the strap on the back. Use one of the loops to hang the

probe on a storage hook or utility belt.

Color Marker Bands. When you are using more than one

probe, the bands enable you to quickly distinguish

between probes and the channels they are connected to.

To use the marker bands, attach one band near the

probe head and the matchi ng band near the compensa-

tion box.

Getting Started

P5205 Instructi on Manual

Installation

Install the P5205 probe as follows:

1. Connect the output of the probe to the TEKPROBE input of the

oscilloscope or other measurement instrument. The measurement

instrument input must have a ground reference.

NOTE. Use the 1103 TEKPROBE Power supply if the instrument does

not have the TEKPROBE interface.

2. Select the proper ra nge setting. For higher resolution and less

noise when measuring signals below 130 V, switch the attenua-

tion to 50X. If the ove rrange indicator lights or flashes, the out put

signal may not be accurate. Use the 500X setting instead.

3. The probe output is adjusted to zero at the factory. Adjust the

probe output to zero only if you need to measure small differen-

tial voltages. Follow steps a and b to make the adjustment.

a. Let the probe warm up for at l east 20 minutes.

b. Connect the input leads of the probe together. Insert the

adjustment tool in the access hole of the compensation

box and adjust the probe to the zero reference point.

If you are using this probe for the first time, read the General Safety

Summary on page v, and re ad page 9 of the Operating Basics section

for important safety information.

Functional Check

To make a simple functional check of the P5205 probe, select a

source that supplies AC line voltage and use the following

procedure. This procedure verifies a majority of the circuitry within

the probe. For a complete performance verification, refer to the

Performance Verification section starting on page 27.

1. Use the installation procedure starting on page 6 to connect the

output of the P5205 probe to a measurem ent instrument.

2. Connect the inputs, set the range, and perform the check as each

line of Table 1, below, indicates.
