RF Current Probe, 27 mm Aperture

CLCE-227

9 kHz to 230 MHz

CLCE-227 RF current probe with 27 mm aperture for EMC testing

RF Current Probe, 27 mm Aperture

  • Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 230 MHz enables wideband RF current measurements for conducted emissions and immunity testing across commercial, military, and aerospace EMC standards.

  • Aperture (ID): 1.06 in (27 mm) allows clamping around installed wires or cable bundles without disconnecting connectors or dismantling harnesses.

  • Transfer Impedance: Nominal −11 dBΩ (0.28 Ω) supports accurate voltage-to-current conversion when used with 50-ohm spectrum analyzers or EMI receivers.

  • Meets CISPR 16-1-2 requirements for RF current monitoring probes used in formal EMC compliance measurements.

  • Used for conducted emissions measurements per CISPR 15, CISPR 25, and CISPR 32 on power and signal cables.

  • Supports RF current monitoring during IEC 61000-4-6 conducted immunity testing when bulk current injection methods are applied.

  • Used during MIL-STD-461 CS114 conducted susceptibility testing to monitor RF current flowing on cables while RF energy is injected using a bulk current injection (BCI) probe.

  • Provides real-time current verification to confirm that injected RF levels meet CS114 test requirements across the specified frequency range.

  • Installed on the EUT cable harness, separate from the injection probe, to measure actual RF current rather than relying solely on forward power readings.

  • Supports CS114 test-level calibration when used with the appropriate calibration fixture, ensuring repeatable and traceable current measurements.

  • Enables detection of over- or under-injection conditions caused by cable impedance changes, grounding variations, or setup inconsistencies.

  • Commonly used during pre-compliance and troubleshooting to identify sensitive cables before full CS114 qualification testing.

  • The split-core design allows placement on installed harnesses, which is critical for CS114 testing where cables must remain in their operational configuration.

  • Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 230 MHz

  • Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with CISPR 16-1-2, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160

  • Aperture Size: 27 mm probe aperture accommodates cable bundles up to one inch
