Tektronix TCP312A PROBEThe Tektronix TCP312A Cur Probe is a split-core probe that uses both transformer and Hall effect technology. When connected to Tektronix Oscilloscopes with TEKPROBE Level II, TekConnect (w/ TCA-BNC), or TekVPI (w/ TPA-BNC) interfaces, the Tektronix TCP312A probe makes cur measurements and calculations simple and easy.Features and Specifications of the TCP31A Cur Probe include:
Features:
- AC/DC measurement capabilities
- Automatic Scaling and Units – Oscilloscope on-screen readout of magnitude and amps reduces measurement errors with no more hand calculations
- AC/DC input coupling
- Low insertion impedance reduces DUT loading
- Split-core design allows easy circuit connection
- Status indicators provide visual operating status and notification of potential error conditions including:
- Degauss, probe open, overload, not terminated into 50 Ω, noncompatible probe type
- Low DC drift and noise allows improved low-level cur measurements
- Applications:
- 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
