What is Voltage Derating Curve in the Probes' Manual

Post by ThongHuynh »

Hi, I am curious about the curve in my TA386 (and TA131) user's guide. What is it and how does it effect my measurement at different frequencies?

My measuring is 1-20MHz and the voltage is from 10mV up to 200V. But is it relevant? I just need the definition of the curve. How is it measured and what does it mean?

It is the safety rating curve showing you the safe voltage as the frequency of your input signal increase
To avoid overloading the probe, note that its maximum input voltage
rating decreases as the frequency of the applied signal increases.
