Applications Features & Benefits AC/DC Measurement Capabilities DC - 100 MHz, Current Probe Amplifier (TCPA300) uses: DC - 100 MHz, 30 A DC (TCP312) DC - 50 MHz, 50 A DC (TCP305) DC - 15 MHz, 150 A DC (TCP303) DC - 50 MHz, Current Probe Amplifier (TCPA400) Uses: DC - 2 MHz, 750*1 A DC (TCP404XL) (500 A DC Continuous) Automatic Scaling and Units*2 - 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 Development and Analysis Solutions for Designers, Installers, and Service Personnel in Telecomm, Data Comm, Computer, and Semiconductor Power Electronics Environments for: Power Supplies (Switching and Linear) Semiconductor Devices (SCRs, IGBTs, MOSFETs, CMOS, BJTs) Power Inverters/Converters Electronic Ballasts Industrial/Consumer Electronics Mobile Communications (Phone, Satellite, Relay Stations) Motor Drives Transportation Systems (Electronic Vehicles, Electric Trains, Locomotives, Avionics) Increased Performance and Simplicity The TCP300 and TCP400 Series 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. *1 Derated with duty cycle. *2 Requires a TDS TEKPROBE oscilloscope or a TekConnect oscilloscope with TCA-BNC. Data Sheet Meets Today's AC/DC Current Measurement Applications The TCPA300 amplifier, when used with TCP312, TCP305, or TCP303 probes, provides a wide range of current measurement capability and spans the gap between low-level milliamp measurements to very high current levels. These three probes provide current measurement capabilities of 30 A, 50 A, and 150 A DC continuous. For even higher current levels, the TCPA400 amplifier with the TCP404XL current probe measures 500 A DC continuous and 750 A DC continuous, derated with duty cycle. Higher frequency performance is available with the TCP312 w/TCPA300 providing 100 MHz bandwidth and a maximum current of 30 A DC. Measurement Errors and Manual Calculations are Now a Thing of the Past With this new series of current measurement tools, automatic control and on-screen scaling and units is provided for users of Tektronix TDS3000, TDS500, TDS600, TDS700, TDS5000, TDS6000, and TDS7000B Series oscilloscope systems (the DPO3000, DPO4000, and DPO7000 Series oscilloscopes, the TPA-BNC adapter is required). The TCP300/TCP400 current measurement systems seamlessly integrate with your TDS Series oscilloscope. Even non-TEKPROBE systems can use the TCPA300/400 Series to make proper current measurements by simply multiplying the measured output voltage on the oscilloscope by the TCPA300/400 Series range setting.
