ETS-Lindgren 95242-1 Injection Probes - Manual (Page 7)

1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Bulk Current Injection Probe (BCIP) Series is used to
inject RF current into conductors and cables of electrical and electronic
equipment undergoing susceptibility testing. This manual includes information for
these BCIP models:
• Model 95236-1
• Model 95242-1
The BCIP provides a means of applying a controlled RF stress level to an
instrument under test through interconnecting cables or power cables without
requiring a direct connection to the conductor(s) of interest. The models in this
series are simply clamped around the test conductor which then becomes a
one turn secondary winding, with the current probe forming the core and primary
winding of an RF transformer. RF energy can be injected onto single and
multi-conductor cables, grounding and bonding straps, outer conductors of
shielding conduits and coaxial cables, and so on.
Because of the high efficiency design, the probes can also be used as sensors.

Useful Range
95236-1 1 MHz–100 MHz 10 kHz–100 MHz
95242-1 10 MHz–400 MHz 2 MHz–400 MHz

The BCIP Series is especially designed to provide minimum insertion loss
over these frequency ranges.
