TCPA300 and TCPA400 Performance Verification
This section covers the performance verification for the TCPA300 and TCPA400
Current Probe Amplifiers. Refer to the list of equipment required in Table 5--3.
Power on the amplifier and test equipment and let them warm up for 20 minutes.
Before starting these procedures, photocopy the appropriate test record beginning
on page 5--16 to record the performance test results. The recommended
calibration interval is one year.
Equipment Required
The performance verification procedures require the test equipment listed in
Table 5--3. The test equipment must meet or exceed the specifications listed. You
may need to modify the test procedures if you do not use the recommended
equipment.
