The TCP305A is a Current Probe from Tektronix. Current Probes are an integral part of any electrical power testing toolbox to ensure accurate measurements, reliability, and safety. Purchase a current probe set with your oscilloscope. Probes can use pulse waveforms to test components without removing them from circuits with in-circuit capabilities. Choose the probe that complements your system. We carry new and used current probes from major industry brands.
Additional Features:
AC/DC measurement capabilities
DC - 50 MHz, 50 A DC
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 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 50 ω, noncompatible probe type
Low DC drift and noise allows improved low-level current measurements
Certified for use in U.S., Canada, and Europe. Complies with applicable IEC standards
Requires a TDS TEKSCOPE oscilloscope or a TekConect oscilloscope with TCA-BNC adapter
Warranty: One year parts and labor
Power requirements
Amplifiers: 90 V to 264 V, 47 to 440 Hz, 50 W; Maximum CAT II (auto switch)
Probes: TCP312A, TCP305A, TCP303 probes require a TCPA300 Amplifier; TCP404XL probe requires a TCPA400 Amplifier
Applications:
Development and analysis solutions for designers, installers, and service personnel in telecom, 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
Transportation systems (electronic vehicles, electric trains, locomotives, avionics)
Meets today's AC/DC current measurement applications
The TCPA300 amplifier, when used with TCP305A probe, provides a wide range of current measurement capability and spans the gap between low-level milliamp measurements to very high current levels.
The split-core probes incorporate both transformer and Hall effect technology to provide broad bandwidth measurement capabilities from DC up to 100 MHz at current levels as low as 1 milliamp to thousands of amps (when used with CT4 current transformer).
When connected to Tektronix TDS Oscilloscopes with TEKPROBE Level II or TekConnect (w/TCA-BNC) interfaces, current measurements and calculations are simple and easy. Additional measurement power is available with add on software such as the TDSPWR2 power measurements package.

The TCPA300 amplifier, when used with TCP312A, TCP305A, or TCP303 probes, provides a wide range of current measurement capability and spans the gap between low-level milliamp measurements to very high current levels. These three probes provide current measurement capabilities of 30 A, 50 A, and 150 A DC continuous. For even higher current levels, the TCPA400 amplifier with the TCP404XL current probe measures 500 A DC continuous and 750 A DC continuous, derated with duty cycle.
Higher-frequency performance is available with the TCP312A w/TCPA300 providing ≥100 MHz bandwidth and a maximum current of 30 A DC.
Measurement errors and manual calculations are now a thing of the past
With this new series of current measurement tools, automatic control and on-screen scaling and units is provided for users of Tektronix TDS3000, TDS500, TDS600, TDS700, TDS5000, TDS6000, and TDS7000B series oscilloscope systems (the DPO3000, MDO/MSO/DPO4000, MSO/DPO5000, and DPO7000 series oscilloscopes, the TPA-BNC adapter is required).
The TCP300/TCP400 current measurement systems seamlessly integrate with your TDS series oscilloscope.
Even non-TEKPROBE systems can use the TCPA300/400 series to make proper current measurements by simply multiplying the measured output voltage on the oscilloscope by the TCPA300/400 series range setting.
