A Pearson Current Monitor can be used for measuring and monitoring:
* Current waveshape and amplitude in high and low voltage circuits, from microamperes to megamperes
* Circuits where the use of viewing resistors is unsuitable because of ground-loop noise, insertion resistance, or a lack of high voltage isolation
* Pulse currents at high voltage, as associated with microwave or x-ray tube modulators, particle accelerators and lasers
* Current transients and harmonics in power systems
* Lightning-strike currents
* Pulsed charged-particle beam current
* Current in electrolytes and plasmas
* EMI currents
* Video and RF currents
* Currents in spot and induction welders
* Antenna phasing
* Flash-tube current
