The Tektronix '''P6015''' is a 1000 × high-voltage probe usable up to 20 kV (40 kV peak pulse).  It can be operated with or without dielectric filling but without this filling, the maximum voltage is reduced to 13 kV (18 kV peak). The original filling material, Freon-114 aka Fluorocarbon 114 (R-114, CFC-114), is no longer available due to its ozone-depleting properties. In later models (P6015A), a silicone based replacement is used.

It can be operated with or without dielectric filling but without this filling, the maximum voltage is reduced to 13 kV (18 kV peak), similar to the [[P6013]] predecessor model.
The original filling material, [[wikipedia: 1,2-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane|Freon-114 aka Fluorocarbon 114 (R-114, CFC-114)]], is no longer available due to its [[wikipedia:Montreal Protocol|ozone-depleting properties]]. For this reason, it was replaced by the [[P6015A]] [[introduced in 1991|in 1991]], which uses a silicone based replacement.
 
The P6015 has a compensating circuit at the scope end of the cable with multiple adjustable RC constants, which was available with [[PL-259]] or [[BNC]] plugs on the scope side (termination box part numbers 015-039/015-0039-00 and 015-049/015-0049-00, respectively).

The Tektronix P6015 is a 1000× high-voltage probe usable up to 20 kV (40 kV peak pulse).

It can be operated with or without dielectric filling but without this filling, the maximum voltage is reduced to 13 kV (18 kV peak), similar to the P6013 predecessor model. The original filling material, Freon-114 aka Fluorocarbon 114 (R-114, CFC-114), is no longer available due to its ozone-depleting properties. For this reason, it was replaced by the P6015A in 1991, which uses a silicone based replacement.

The P6015 has a compensating circuit at the scope end of the cable with multiple adjustable RC constants, which was available with PL-259 or BNC plugs on the scope side (termination box part numbers 015-039/015-0039-00 and 015-049/015-0049-00, respectively).
