TCP0020, TCP2020, TCP202A
The TCP0020, TCP2020, and TCP202A are a family of high-performance,
easy-to-use AC/DC current probes de signed f or u se with a variety
of oscilloscopes. The TCP0020 is designed for direct connection to
oscilloscopes
with the TekVPI™ pro be interface and the T CP202A is
designed for direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekProbe™ probe
interface. The TCP2020 is designed for use with any instrument with BNC
inputs and >100 kΩ input termination.
These AC/DC current probe s provide sufficient performance to support
50 MHz measurement system bandwidth. The TCP0020 and TCP2020
provide a maximum 20 A
RMS
measurement range, while the TCP202A
provides a maximum 15 A
DC + Peak AC
measurement range. These probes also
provide exce
llent accura cy to current levels as low as 10 mA, important for
meeting today’s challenging current meas ureme nt needs.
