Travel Case

The travel case is a recommended accessory for the TCPA300/400 Ampli

ers.

The travel case includes room to store one ampli

er and two TCP300A/400 Series

Current Probes, one of each size. (For example, you can store a TCP305A and
a TCP303 probe.) A compartment is included to store associated cables and
terminations. (See Figure 4.)
