CLCE-452 V2 RF Current Probe with 52mm aperture for EMC and BCIP testing, 9 kHz to 400 MHz frequency

400 MHz RF Current Probe

  • CLCE-452 V2 RF current monitoring probe, 9 kHz to 400 MHz — a wideband split-core current probe for conducted emissions measurement and RF current monitoring across commercial, automotive, military, and aerospace EMC testing.
  • Standards-compliant current probe for CISPR, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 — meets CISPR 16-1-2 requirements for current monitoring probes and supports conducted emissions and immunity testing per CISPR 22/32, MIL-STD-461, and DO-160.
  • Large 52 mm (2") aperture for heavy-duty cable bundles — the wide window accommodates thick industrial, automotive, and aerospace harnesses up to 52 mm in diameter.
  • Updated V2 with extended 400 MHz bandwidth — the V2 refresh adds 70% more upper frequency coverage than the CLCE-252 in the same physical footprint, for broadband multi-standard testing.
  • Nominal 0.8 Ω transfer impedance with 36 dB insertion loss — balances sensitivity and signal isolation for precise EMI current measurements.
  • High current endurance for demanding EMC simulations — rated for 200 A DC, 100 A AC at 50/60 Hz, 60 A AC at 400 Hz, 2 A RF, and 2000 A pulse (8/20 µs).
  • Hinged split-core design for fast, non-intrusive clamp-on measurement — opens to clamp over installed cables and harnesses without disconnecting connectors, then functions as a toroidal transformer for safe, contactless RF current sensing.
  • Ideal for Bulk Current Injection (BCI) immunity current monitoring — precisely monitors applied RF current during BCI conducted susceptibility testing (such as MIL-STD-461 CS114), validating that injected levels meet test requirements.
  • NIST-traceable individual calibration for accurate, repeatable results — each probe ships with NIST-traceable transfer impedance calibration data; ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration available on request, with a three-year warranty.
  • Optimized for use with Com-Power accessories — pairs with the FCLCE-452 Calibration Fixture and the SPA-932TG Spectrum Analyzer for full system compatibility and a complete, standards-compliant RF current measurement setup.
