Is there any suggestion how to measure Pulse current up to 10KA and
pulse wide below 10mA?

to 100's of A),but not 10,000A.
you may need some sort of current transformer for those really high
currents.

Now, it might be done with a *large* core and (relatively) large
diameter wire (to reduce that IR drop)...
So, start with a turns ratio of (say) 10,000 to 1, meaning the
secondary has 10,000 turns.
For insignificant IR drop, the secondary should be no smaller than #20.
From that, figure out the cross-sectional area taken for 10,000
wires, thenmathematically "spread" it out over a torus (if that is the
shape of the core) or rectangle (if "C" or "E" type core).
That should give you a rough idea as to the minimum core size (will
need to be larger due to insulation, etc).
At 10,000 amps one would have a problem in preventing saturation; the"GSiu" <gomansiu@mintformer.com> wrote in

hi-freq response.
And they still are PROBES(based on transformers,yes.)
,not a stand-alone transformer.
They also can be slipped over a conductor and not have to be hard-wired
into the circuit.

something like a 500:1 comes to mind.
also there is the concern of the pulse

also you have Tranducers that can convert
to 4..20, voltage or digitial output etc..

I believe this is the first time that "stand-alone" was mentioned...
