The Tektronix TCP0150 is a high-performance, easy-to-use 150 A AC/DC current probe designed for direct connection to the TekVPI probe interface. It measures both AC and DC current and provides automatic units scaling and readout on the oscilloscope's display, with setup controls, probe status, and diagnostic indicators available on both the probe hardware and through the oscilloscope's UI menu.
Listed applications for the TCP0150 include power supplies, semiconductor devices, power inverters and converters, electronic ballasts, industrial and consumer electronics, motor drives, and transportation systems. A current probe of this type clamps around a conductor to measure the current flowing through it without breaking the circuit.
That combination of real inventory and hands-on verification is how we stand behind what we sell.

Important: Do not apply currents greater than the maximum continuous current for more than 10 seconds to minimize heating effects.
Important: The TCP0150 is powered directly by, and requires, an oscilloscope with the TekVPI probe interface; the recommended oscilloscopes are oscilloscopes with the TekVPI probe interface.
Important: For best probe support, download and install the latest version of the oscilloscope software from www.tek.com/software/downloads.
Recommended pairing: the Tektronix 067-1701-xx TekVPI calibration fixture and the 015-0601-50 1-turn 50 Ω current loop are listed as recommended accessories for performance verification of the TCP0150.
