Increased performance and simplicity
Tektronix TCP300 and TCP400 series AC/DC Current Measurement family is
a highly advanced current measurement system for today's current
measurement needs. The split-core probes incorporate both transformer and
Hall-effect technology to provide broad bandwidth measurement capabilities
from DC up to 100 MHz at current levels as low as 1 milliamp to thousands
of amps (when used with CT4 current transformer). 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.
Additional measurement power is available with add-on software such
as the TDSPWR2 power measurements package. With all this measurement
power, current measurements have never been easier.
*1 Derated with Duty Cycle

Requires a TDS TEKPROBE Oscilloscope or a TekConnect Oscilloscope with
TCA-BNC
Meets today's AC/DC current measurement applications
The TCPA300 amplifier, when used with
TCP312,
TCP305, or
TCP303
probes, provide 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 and the TDSPWR2 software
package to easily make those time-consuming power measurements and
calculations for you.
Even non-TEKPROBE systems can use the TCPA 300/400 series to make
proper current measurements by simply multiplying the measured
output voltage on the oscilloscope by the TCPA 300/400 series range
setting.
