The Tektronix TCPA300 oscilloscope probe amplifier is a highly advanced current measurement system. When connected to Tektronix oscilloscopes with TEKPROBE Level II, TekConnect (w/ TCA-BNC) or TekVPI (w/TPA-BNC) interfaces offer a wide current measurement capability, from low-level milliamp measurements to high current levels. It can also be used with non-Tekprobe systems to make proper current measurements, by multiplying the measured output voltage on the oscilloscope by the TCPA300 range setting. Note: Requires Tektronix TCP305 ( 628-7534 ) or TCP312 ( 499-592 ) current probe, available separately. Supplied with instruction/service manual, TEKPROBE interface cable, Male-to-Male BNC cable (50O), 50O feedthrough termination, Certificate of Traceable Calibration.
Features and Benefits
DC to 100MHz: Current Probe Amplifier 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 50ohm, no compatible probe type Lower DC drift and noise allow improved low level current measurements
Applications
Development and analysis solutions for designers, installers, and service personnel in telecomm, data communication, 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 and relay stations) Motor drives transportation systems (electronic vehicles, electric trains, locomotives and avionics)
