Tektronix AC/DC current probe TCP0030A high-frequency AC AC DC DC 120M high-bandwidth 30 A/50 A

Brand: Tektronix

Origin: USA

Isolated Current Probe. Detailed specifications are available in the product datasheet.
Overview

TCP0030A is a high-performance, easy-to-use AC/DC probe designed for direct connection to oscilloscopes via TekVPI™ probe interfaces. This AC/DC measurement probe offers a bandwidth of over 120 MHz, with optional 5A and 30A measurement ranges. These probes also provide excellent low-current measurement capability and a minimum current accuracy of 1 mA, which is critical for meeting today's highly challenging current measurement requirements.


Main Features
  • Easy to use, accurately measure AC/DC currents

  • Intelligent communication with TekVPI™ oscilloscopes provides:

    • Unit scaling and readings. Current and amplitude readings are automatically displayed on the screen. No manual settings are required. No need to manually convert voltage to current

    • Button degauss and automatic zero functions

    • Probe status and diagnostic indicator LEDs

    • Remote GPIB/USB probe control

  • Split-core design for easy circuit connection

  • High accuracy, DC gain error generally less than 1%

  • Low noise and DC drift

  • Third-party safety certification
