BumbleBee®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The BumbleBee® is a high-voltage differential probe designed for precise measurements in power device evaluations, particularly in IGBT circuits, motor drives, and semiconductor techniques like GaN and SiC modules. It supports a bandwidth of up to 400 MHz and is compatible with any 50 Ω measuring instrument.
Key Features:
  • Measurement Category I: 2000 V rms, 6000 V transient overvoltage.
  • Measurement Category III: 1000 V CAT III.
  • Bandwidth: 400 MHz with less than 1% deviation within 0 °C to +50 °C.
  • High Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR).
  • 4 Mode Attenuation for higher resolution measurements.
  • Active offset correction with a range of ±4 V and 15-bit resolution.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Switchable attenuation ratios: 50:1, 100:1, 250:1, 500:1.
  • Input voltage bandwidth varies with attenuation and voltage levels.
  • Typical noise levels and propagation delay are specified for different attenuation settings.
  • Maximum input voltage varies by measurement category and pollution degree.
  • Input impedance decreases with frequency increase.
Mechanical and Environmental Specifications:
  • Weight: 370 g, Cable Length: 2 m, Input Leads Length: 25 cm.
  • Operating temperature range: 0 °C to +50 °C, non-operating: -20 °C to +70 °C.
  • Maximum relative humidity: 80% at +31 °C, decreasing to 40% at +50 °C.
Standard Scope of Delivery: Includes various clamps, connectors, adaptors, and a power supply cable. Note that a power supply is not included and must be purchased separately.
Compliance and Safety: The product complies with WEEE and RoHS directives. Users are advised to follow safety instructions to avoid injury or damage. Only qualified personnel should use the probe assembly.
Manufacturer Information: PMK Mess- und Kommunikationstechnik GmbH, Germany. Contact details and further product information are available on their website.

BumbleBee® High Voltage Differential Probe Ord.-No: 880-102-501 2000 V rms Measurement Category I, 6000 V transient Overvoltage 1000 V CAT III 400 MHz Bandwidth < 1 % Deviation within Specified Operating Temperatures (0 °C to +50 °C) High CMRR 4 Mode Attenuation Useable with any 50 Ω Measuring Instrument BumbleBee® is a 400 MHz, 2 kV Measurement Category I or 1 kV CAT III Differential High-Voltage Probe, that can be used with every instrument having 50 Ω Input Impedance. The probe is very effective at power device evaluation such as measurements in IGBT circuits used in the design of motor drives, switching power supplies and frequency converters. Especially 1700 V IGBT modules for inverters and converters. BumbleBee® is also very effective at fast transient measurements with bandwidths of up to 400 MHz. Measurments at GaN and SiC modules as part of new semiconductor techniques profit from that in particular. It provides a 4 Mode Attenuation, which allows higher resolution measurements. The probe provides overload indicators for each input channel as well as for the output. That makes it easy to observe, that the differential probe is working in the specified range. The probe also provides an active offset correction in a range of ± 4 V, related to the output voltage, with a resolution of 15 Bit. These and many other functions can be remotely controlled with the free PC-Software "PMK Probe Control". The Software included in the scope of delivery of PMKs PS-02 and PS-03 Power Supplies. The intuitive grafical user interface makes all interactions with BumbleBee® clear and e
