TCP305 and TCP312 Adjustments
TCP305 and TCP
312 Adjustments
The TCP305 an
d TCP312 Current Probes have one characteristic that is
adjustable–DC gain. The following text describes the DC gain adjustment
procedure. Tolerances that are specified in these procedures apply to the current
probes and do not include test equipment error.
Required Test Equipment
To perform the adjustment procedure in this section, you will need the test
equipment listed. (See Table 27.) The test equipment must meet or exceed
the specifications listed. The test procedure may need to be changed if the
recommen
ded equipment is not used.
