Compliance
The PLIP is designed to comply with the CIPR16 requirements for a voltage
probe. The design incorporates several features that are in addition
to the basic CISPR16 specifications.
These offer three major advantages:
Safety Complete galvanic isolation for protection against line
voltages.
Sensitivity The PLIP incorporates a 30dB RF amplifier. This
results in a nominal antenna factor (insertion loss) of 0dB, against
that of a 'conventional' voltage probe of 30dB.
Protection The PLIP features signal filtering with transient
limiter and output clamping. The net result is that any analyser or
receiver connected to the output of the PLIP is protected against damage
due to high or transient signal conditions.
