Breakthrough power instrumentation fast-tracks customer innovation

Tektronix, Inc. has announced a new lineup of breakthrough power devices set to accelerate innovation in industries demanding greater power capacity and efficiency. The new TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes are the world's first to use RF isolation, providing exceptional precision and safety when measuring fast-changing current across low and high-voltage systems. The EA-PSB 20000 Triple series is a three-channel, bidirectional power supply and electronic load with energy recovery that produces higher test coverage, density, and capacity across multiple channels within a single device.

TICP IsoVu probes are the industry's first current shunt probes to use RF isolation, delivering complete galvanic isolation between measurement systems and devices under test, providing high-bandwidth, low-noise current measurements in high-voltage applications compared to existing probes on the market or alternative shunt measurement techniques. Obtainable in bandwidths up to 1GHz, these probes allow engineers to capture accurate measurements of fast-changing currents on their oscilloscopes across a wide voltage range in nanoseconds from microamps to kiloamps.

"The wide measurement range covers previously inaccessible high-voltage environments, from fast-switching SiC and GaN power converters to low-power applications like battery performance testing in mobile devices – all with a single probe," said Daryl Ellis, Tektronix's general manager of Entry and Mainstream Portfolio. "As the global demand for power innovation accelerates, we're setting new benchmarks in precision, safety, and scalability, empowering customers to push the limits of what is possible in industries ranging from automotive to renewable energy."

The EA-PSB 20000 Triple series is the first triple-channel, bidirectional DC power supply capable of delivering high-density, parallel testing for components in complex systems. Each of the three independent channels can supply up to 10kW of power, supporting a range of voltages up to 920V and currents up to 340A. The series permits customers to consolidate multiple testing setups into one, lowering cost, equipment needs, and test time. It also features autoranging, which automatically adjusts the voltage or current to supply full power across a wide operation range, allowing a single unit to handle various voltage and current combinations.

"By offering higher power density and test capacity in one compact unit, the EA-PSB 20000 Triple is the tool every engineer needs to quickly adapt to multiple testing needs and accelerate innovation in fast-moving sectors like automotive and renewable energy," said James Hitchcock, EA Elektro-Automatik's vice president and general manager. "This is about delivering more power, more efficiently, to our customers for years to come."
