Rigol RP1100D Digital Oscilloscope Probe 100MHz 6.5kV Differential

Description

Product Overview

The Rigol RP1100D is a high‑voltage differential probe engineered for demanding test and measurement applications. It delivers a flat 100MHz bandwidth (‑3dB) across a wide range of attenuation settings, ensuring accurate capture of fast transients and high‑frequency signals. The probe supports attenuation ratios of X100, X200, X500, and X1000, allowing users to safely measure voltages up to 7kV peak‑to‑peak (2300Vrms) without compromising signal integrity. Its input impedance of 16MΩ/1.2pF (differential) and 8MΩ/2.3pF (single‑ended) minimizes loading effects, while the output voltage is limited to ±8V, providing a clean, low‑noise interface to standard oscilloscopes.

Constructed from a robust housing that meets industrial standards, the RP1100D weighs only 9.9 ounces and measures 9.45 x 1.42 x 3.35 inches, making it portable enough for field work yet durable enough for laboratory environments. The probe includes a high‑quality BNC connector, a secure grounding system, and a detachable tip assembly for easy maintenance. Power is supplied directly from the oscilloscope’s AC source, eliminating the need for batteries and reducing operational costs.

Usage

This probe excels in scenarios where high voltage and high frequency intersect. Engineers working on power electronics, automotive inverter testing, renewable energy converters, and high‑speed digital circuits will find the RP1100D indispensable. Its ability to handle both DC and AC signals up to 7kV peak‑to‑peak makes it suitable for measuring motor drive waveforms, transformer leakage, and high‑voltage pulse generators. The selectable attenuation ratios enable precise scaling of large signals to the safe input range of standard 50Ω oscilloscope channels, preserving waveform fidelity and timing accuracy.

In addition to laboratory bench testing, the RP1100D is well‑suited for on‑site diagnostics, such as troubleshooting high‑voltage power supplies, verifying insulation resistance, and performing safety compliance checks. The probe’s fast 3.5ns rise time ensures that rapid edge transitions are captured without distortion, a critical factor when analyzing switching losses or electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources. Its compact form factor and rugged construction allow technicians to carry it in a tool kit and deploy it quickly in the field.

FAQ

What is the maximum voltage the RP1100D can measure?

The probe can handle up to 7kV peak‑to‑peak (approximately 2300Vrms) when set to the X1000 attenuation ratio, and up to 6500Vrms to ground at the input terminal.

Can the RP1100D be used with any oscilloscope?

Yes, the probe is compatible with most standard 50Ω oscilloscope inputs. It connects via a BNC connector and does not require additional power sources, as it draws power from the oscilloscope’s AC line.

How does the attenuation affect measurement accuracy?

All attenuation settings maintain a ±2% accuracy across the specified voltage ranges. The probe’s internal circuitry compensates for attenuation to preserve waveform fidelity.

Is the probe suitable for measuring both AC and DC signals?

Absolutely. The RP1100D is designed for DC‑100MHz operation, allowing accurate measurement of both steady‑state DC levels and high‑frequency AC components.

What kind of warranty and support does Rigol provide?

Rigol offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. In addition, customers have access to technical support, firmware updates, and detailed application notes to assist with setup and troubleshooting.
