Abstract

A non-contact probe provides information as to relative amplitudes of harmonics of a current or voltage waveform as well as total harmonic distortion. The probe includes a non-contact sensor with an amplifier coupled thereto. Output signals from the amplifier are digitized and analyzed in a programmed processor. Output from the processor provides a display of relative harmonic amplitudes as well as an indicator of total harmonic distortion.
