# Tektronix TCP0030 AC/DC Current Probe (Pre-Owned) # Tektronix TCP0030 AC/DC Current Probe (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - DC to ≥120 MHz bandwidth with selectable 5 A and 30 A current ranges for AC/DC measurement - 30 A RMS maximum current capability with 50 A peak pulse current capability - Measures current levels as low as 1 mA on oscilloscopes that support a 1 mV/div setting - Connects directly to the TekVPI interface on DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series oscilloscopes — no separate power supply - DC accuracy ±1% typical (±3% warranted); rise time ≤2.92 ns - Split-core construction for easy circuit connection; easy to degauss and autozero - Automatic units scaling and readout on the oscilloscope display - Safety certified for the U.S. and Canada; CE and WEEE compliance labeling The Tektronix TCP0030 is a high-performance AC/DC current probe designed for direct connection to the TekVPI probe interface without the need for an additional power supply. It is intended for use with Tektronix DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series oscilloscopes, providing greater than 120 MHz of bandwidth with selectable 5 A and 30 A measurement ranges, together with low-current measurement capability down to 1 mA. Tektronix positions the TCP0030 for a broad set of current-measurement tasks, including power supplies, semiconductor devices, power inverters and converters, and electronic ballasts. It is also applied in industrial and consumer electronics, mobile communications, motor drives, and transportation systems. ValueTronics stocks this equipment in its own 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house by our technicians before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. ## Accessories Supplied - Instruction manual (071-1812-xx English, 071-1813-xx Japanese or 071-1814-xx Simplified Chinese) - Protective Cover (016-1923-xx) - Probe Ground Lead – 6 in. length (196-3120-xx) - Nylon Carrying Case (016-1952-xx) ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Characteristics Bandwidth DC to ≥120 MHz Rise Time ≤2.92 ns Max RMS Current 30 A Max Peak Pulse Current 50 A Minimum Sensitivity 1 mA (on oscilloscopes that support 1 mV/div setting) AC Coupling On oscilloscopes that support AC/DC coupling Current Ranges 5 A and 30 A Max Bare Wire Voltage Use insulated wire only Typical Characteristics DC Accuracy ± 1% typical; ± 3% warranted Max Amp-Second Product 500 A\*µS (in 30 A Range) Insertion Impedance 1 mΩ @ 10 kHz; 3.5 mΩ @ 100 kHz; 0.08 Ω @ 1 MHz; 0.15 Ω @ 10 MHz; 0.7 Ω @ 100 MHz; 0.85 Ω @ 120 MHz Signal Delay 14.5 ns Environmental Temperature, Operating 0 ºC to + 50 ºC Temperature, Non-Operating –40 ºC to + 75 ºC Humidity, Operating 5% to 95% Relative Humidity (RH) at up to + 30 ºC; 5% to 85% RH above 30 ºC up to + 50 ºC, non-condensing Humidity, Non-Operating 5% to 95% Relative Humidity (RH) at up to + 30 ºC; 5% to 85% RH above 30 ºC up to + 75 ºC, non-condensing Altitude, Operating Up to 3,000 m (10,000 feet) Altitude, Non-operating Up to 12,192 m (40,000 feet) Regulatory Compliance Labeling CE (European Union); WEEE (European Union) Physical Characteristics (Probe Head Size) Height 3.2 cm (1.25 in.)
