Description

Tektronix – TCP303 AC/DC current measurement family is a highly advanced current measurement system for today’s current measurement needs. When connected to Tektronix oscilloscopes with TEKPROBE Level II, TekConnect (w/ TCA-BNC), or TekVPI (w/ TPA-BNC) interfaces, current measurements and calculations are simple and easy.

Tektronix – TCP303 KEY PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

AC/DC measurement capabilities

• DC – 100 MHz, Current Probe Amplifier (TCPA300) uses:
  • DC – 100 MHz, 30 A DC (TCP312A)
  • DC – 50 MHz, 50 A DC (TCP305A)
  • DC – 15 MHz, 150 A DC (TCP303)
• DC – 50 MHz, Current Probe Amplifier (TCPA400) Uses:
  • DC – 2 MHz, 750 A DC ¹ (TCP404XL) (500 A DC Continuous)

¹ Derated with duty cycle

Tektronix – TCP303 KEY FEATURES

• Automatic scaling and units ¹ – Oscilloscope on-screen readout of magnitude and amps reduces measurement errors with no more hand calculations
• AC/DC input coupling
• Low insertion impedance reduces device under test loading
• Split-core construction allows easy circuit connection
• Status indicators provide visual operating status and notification of potential error conditions – degauss, probe open, overload, not terminated into 50 Ω, noncompatible probe type
• Low DC drift and noise allows improved low-level current measurements
• 3rd party safety certification

¹ Requires a TDS TEKSCOPE oscilloscope or a TekConnect oscilloscope with TCA-BNC adapter
