Fixed core Hall-effect transducers
Tektronix provides a variety of fixed core and split core current transducers
matched to our power analyzers to fit your application and measurement
needs. Fixed core transducers provide the highest accuracy available for
both AC and DC current measurements, whilst the split core devices are
ideally suited to making measurements in less accessible applications.

BB1000 Breakout Box
BB1000-NA Breakout Box
BB1000-EU Breakout Box
BB1000-UK Breakout Box
The BB1000 Breakout Box makes wiring connections between your device-
under-test and Tektronix power analyzers easy and safe, by 'breaking out'
the current flow for connection to the internal current shunt in the analyzer.
It provides a line output socket to power your device under test (up to
10 ARMS) and 4 mm sockets for direct connection to the Tektronix power
analyzer terminals. The BB1000 Breakout box is offered in three different
versions with these receptacle styles:
BB1000-NA: 120 V North America receptacle
BB1000-EU: 240 V Euro receptacle
BB1000-UK: 240 V United Kingdom receptacle
BALLAST-CT
BALLAST-CT
The Tektronix Ballast-CT simplifies the measurement of output power and
tube current in high frequency electronic lighting ballasts. This device is
specifically designed for lighting applications, and overcomes problems that
are usually found when using conventional or Hall Effect current
transformers. When used in conjunction with a Tektronix PA1000 or
PA4000 power analyzer, the free-standing Ballast-CT accessory provides a
convenient and accurate solution to taking power measurements in lighting
ballast circuits.
Convenience: No need to feed cables through a CT core
High accuracy: Trifilar-wound toroidal design
No cable positioning/contact error
Wide bandwidth: High frequency design provides 5 kHz to 1 MHz
bandwidth
Wide current range: 5 mA to 1 A is compatible with many modern
ballasts
