Hi All, I have been doing some high voltage measurements of currents lately to support development of a new troubleshooting and failure mode analysis method which will be complete shortly. That information will be in my seminars this summer and eventually next year in a published paper. But at this point I have posted on my website a target for measuring currents due to discharges of 50 kV+ that insulates the current probe and with that constraint, minimizes the inductance of the measuremed current path.
The new method relates to finding possible low probability failure modes that may occur in the field that are likely missed in normal SI and EMC testing but may still be important especially to those in the medical, aerospace, and automotive fields. The article is at: http://emcesd.com/tt2016/tt052416.htm and contains a surprising picture. Let me know if you notice the surprising feature in one of the pictures. Be sure to look over the main page at http://emcesd.com as I have been adding to it lately, including this latest article which is at the bottom of the index page.
