TCP305 and TCP312 Adjustments
The TCP305 and TCP312 Current Probes have one characteristic that is
adjustable--DC gain. The following text describes the DC gain adjustment
procedure. T olerances 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 in Table 6--5. The test equipment must meet or exceed the
specifications listed. The test procedure may need to be changed if the recom-
mended equipment is not used.
