Description
Silicon carbide and gallium nitride switches change state in a few nanoseconds. To see those edges at line-level voltages, you need both speed and headroom. The Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZHD16 probe offers that pair: it is a high-voltage differential probe with 200 MHz bandwidth and a 1500 V maximum, according to Rohde & Schwarz.
Speed where it counts
Within the RT-ZHD line, only two models reach 200 MHz. The RT-ZHD07 does so up to 750 V, while this model doubles the voltage to 1500 V. So the RT-ZHD16 fits engineers who design 400 V and 800 V class converters and still care about edge detail. Rise time, ringing and dead time all show more clearly with the extra bandwidth.

Who uses the Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZHD16 probe
EV charger makers, solar inverter teams and motor drive designers in Vietnam all face fast, high-voltage nodes. For example, an engineer can view the switch node of a half bridge while tuning gate resistors. Then the same probe can check the DC link during a load step. University power electronics labs also find it useful for teaching wide-bandgap design.
Choosing the attenuation
Start at 50:1 when the signal stays well inside the low range, since it gives finer vertical detail. Then switch to 500:1 when the voltage approaches the top of the scale.
Plan the order
Lost in HCM catalogs the RT-ZHD16 as an option for the R&S RTM3000 family. However, check your oscilloscope’s probe interface and firmware before you book. Next, decide whether a rental for one design phase or a purchase suits your budget. Follow the manufacturer’s manual and ratings in every setup.
When ready, request a quote from Lost in HCM for the Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZHD16 probe. Related items sit in the oscilloscope probes section, and you can contact SMK Vietnam anytime. Rohde & Schwarz lists the data on its high-voltage probe overview.
Common questions on the RT-ZHD16
What separates the RT-ZHD16 from the RT-ZHD15?
Both reach 1500 V. However, the RT-ZHD16 offers 200 MHz, while the RT-ZHD15 offers 100 MHz.
Which details help Lost in HCM quote faster?
Include your scope model, serial number, firmware and project dates. Lost in HCM then confirms supply.
Can I buy instead of rent?
Yes. Lost in HCM quotes both rental and purchase, and it arranges service on request.
