 While testing, I ran into multiple problems when measuring the current consumption with the PPK 2 on the nRF52833 dk. 
 For all measurements the Blinky + Bluetooth demo program was used.

&lt;p&gt;After reading the description of your case, I think that the issue is not related to PPK; it&amp;#39;s the way you are measuring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The default setting of the nRF power source is VDD.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;To use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;li-po on SW9&lt;span&gt;, you need a Li-Po battery connected to either&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;J6 or P27&lt;span&gt;. In that position, the nRF52833&amp;#39;s high-voltage regulator is supplied directly from the Li-Po battery connector.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Can you send me the picture of your setup?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Have you followed this guideline&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ug_ppk2/page/UG/ppk/setting_up.html"&gt;Setting up the Power Profiler Kit II&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;while setting the DK for measuring current?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;BR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
