I would like to know the specifications of a current probe used to measure inductor current waveforms and of a wire (diameter and length) connected to the inductor ends for such measurements.
In a ROHM example, and taken purely as reference, the current probe used is a Tektronix model TCP0030A. The length of the wire connected to the inductor is the shortest length that can be gripped by the current probe; the wire normally has a conductor diameter of 0.7 mm and an diameter with insulation of about 1.3 mm. When the current value is large, several of the same wire may be used in parallel, or other conditions may be chosen according to the circumstances.
