High-Voltage Differential Probes - BumbleBee® Series
■ Ideal for switching power supplies & GaN / SiC power devices
■ ±200V, ±400V, ±1000V to ±2000V models
■ Each with four user selectable Input attenuator ranges
■ 400MHz / 500MHz bandwidth
■ Up to 7m cable length for reaching test points far away
The PMK BumbleBee® high voltage differential probe series offers industry leading performance up to 500MHz bandwidth for today‘s power device design challenges, especially those using wide bandgap devices, such as SiC and GaN. The ±2000V, ±1000V, ±400V and ±200V differential and common-mode input voltage ranges makes BumbleBee® probes an ideal choice for designing and evaluating power circuits, such as switching power supplies, motor drives, inverter, IGBT circuits and frequency converters in the different voltage classes. BumbleBee® series probes have four adjustable input attenuation ranges allowing the user to select the voltage range needed to achieve the lowest noise and best possible resolution.
The probe is compatible with any oscilloscope with a 50Ω input impedance and has a user adjustable DC output offset correction range of ±4V (output referred).
All BumbleBee® series probes can be controlled from the controls located on the probe head or via remote control.
A PMK power supply unit is required. These are available with a USB interface and are optionally available with a LAN interface. Remote control of the probe is made possible by the power supply unit.
The exact range of functions of the probes is described on the page linked below for the respective software solution.
Several software solutions are available for remote control of PMK products:

The 1 channel battery pack power supply AP-01 provides >8h of portable and isolated operation, which allows the user the flexibility of where the probe can be used.
The AP-01 supplies power only to the probe with no software remote control.

ISO17025 calibration upon delivery or as re-calibration is possible on request.
