  • Page 9 The CT 4 High Current Transformer is designed to extend the current measuring capa bility of the Tektronix A6302, A6302XL, A6312, TCP202, and P6021 Current Probes. The CT 4 extends the measurement range up to 1000 times. The CT 4 includes a pistol grip handle with two receptacles to accept the current probe in either the 1000:1 or 20:1 current ranges.
  • Page 11 The electrical characteristics listed in Table 1 1 are valid when the CT 4 is used with a cali brated oscilloscope and a calibrated A6312/A6302/A6302XL current probe with the AM503X amplifier, TCP202 current probe, or P6021 current probe. The instruments must be operated within the environmental limitations stated in Table 1 3.

  • Page 15 The CT 4 High Current Transformer may be used with the A6312, A6302 or A6302XL Current Probes and the AM 503/A/B or AM 5030 Current Probe Amplifiers. The CT 4 can also be used with the TCP202 AC/DC Current Probe or the P6021 AC Current Probe. Some of the electrical characteristics are different depending on the current probe you select (see page 1 1).

  • Page 16: Probe Installation

    The DC Bucking Coil is an optional accessory to the CT 4. Probe Installation Install the current probe in the CT 4 as follows: 1. Degauss the probe (if so equipped). 2. Select the appropriate receptacle based on the anticipated current magnitude. 3.
  • Page 18 length supplied as a standard accessory will provide approximately three layers when wrapped around the largest conductor that the CT 4 will accept. Center the CT 4 on at least a six inch width of insulation. Do not use damaged insulation wrap.

  • Page 20 The maximum pulse current that can be measured using the CT 4 is limited by transformer core saturation. Figs. 2 7 and 2 8 are graphs of maximum pulse amplitude versus duration for the A6302, A6302XL, A6312, and TCP202. The amp second product specification provides a basis for calculating the current limitation with any given pulse width.

  • Page 24 To measure low current levels in conductors too large for the A6302/A6302XL/A6312 and TCP202 core openings, two or more loops may be passed through the CT 4. Sensitivity in creases directly with the number of turns. Remember, however, that the impedance re flected back into the primary (circuit being measured) from the secondary (probe winding) varies a square function of the primary turns.
  • Page 25 DC Bucking Coil (Optional) The DC Bucking Coil (Tektronix Part No. 015 0190 00 is an optional accessory to the CT 4. Normally, distortions due to core saturation occur when attempting to observe or mea sure ac signal currents in the presence of dc currents exceeding approximately 20 am peres.
