TCP0030A is a high-performance, easy-to-use AC/DC current probe
designed for use and direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekVPI
™
probe interface. This AC/DC current measurement probe provides greater
than 120 MHz of bandwidth with selectable 5 A and 30 A measurement
ranges. It also provides exceptional low-current measurement capability
and accuracy to current levels as low as 1 mA, important for meeting
today's challenging current measurement needs.
