Overview

The TCP300 and TCP400 series AC/DC current measurement series are highly advanced current measurement systems that meet today's current measurement needs. When connecting the Tekprobe oscilloscope via TEKPROBE Level II, TekConnect (using TCA-BNC), or TekVPI (using TPA-BNC) interfaces, current measurement and calculation become easy and simple.

    meets today's AC/DC current measurement applications

    TCPA300 amplifiers

    provide a range of current measurement functions when used with TCP312A, TCP305A, or TCP303 probes, bridging the gap between small current measurement products and ultra-high current measurement products. These three probes provide current measurement capability for continuous DC currents of 30A, 50A, and 150A. For higher current levels, TCPA400 amplifiers with TCP404XL current probes can measure continuous DC currents of 500A and 750A, with downrating related to duty cycle.

    TCP312A with TCPA300 delivers higher frequency performance, offering ≥ bandwidth of 100 MHz and DC currents up to 30A.


    completely eliminates measurement errors and manual calculation

    work.

    This brand-new series of current measurement tools provides users of the Tektronix TDS3000, TDS500, TDS600, TDS700, TDS5000, TDS6000, and TDS7000B series oscilloscope systems with automatic control functions and screen scale and units (DPO3000, MDO/MSO/DPO4000, MSO/DPO5000, and DPO7000 series oscilloscopes require TPA-BNC adapters).

    The TCP300/TCP400 current measurement system can be seamlessly integrated with TDS series oscilloscopes.

    Even non-TEKPROBE systems can use the TCPA300/400 series to perform current measurements; users simply multiply the output voltage measured on the oscilloscope by the TCPA300/400 series range setting
