A Tektronix 465 portable analog oscilloscope is a typical instrument of the late 1970s. In the 1960s Tektronix introduced the relatively compact 450 series of portable oscilloscopes, starting with the 50 MHz 453. The 453 was superseded by the 454. There was also a 422 15 MHz AC/DC portable made. [1]
In 1956, a large property in Beaverton became available, and the company's employee retirement trust purchased the land and leased it back to the company. [10] Construction began in 1957 and on May 1, 1959, Tektronix moved into its new Beaverton headquarters campus, [10] on a 313-acre (1.27 km 2) site which came to be called the Tektronix Industrial Park.
Transformers designed for below-grade installation can be designed for periodic submersion in water. [14] Distribution transformers may include an off-load tap changer, which slightly adjusts the ratio between primary and secondary voltage to bring the customer's voltage within the desired range on long or heavily loaded lines.

Buck–boost transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer and the nameplate kVA rating is the transformer’s capacity. [2]
Planar was founded on May 23, 1983 [3] by Jim Hurd, Chris King, John Laney and others as a spin-off from the Solid State Research and Development Group of the Beaverton, Oregon, based Tektronix. [4] In 1986, a division spun off from Planar to work on projection technology and formed InFocus. [5]
In electronics testing and servicing, an isolation transformer is a 1:1 (under load) power transformer used for safety. Without it, exposed live metal in a device under test is at a hazardous voltage relative to grounded objects such as a heating radiator or oscilloscope ground lead (a particular hazard with some old vacuum-tube equipment with ...
Single- and three-phase pad-mounted transformers are used in underground industrial and residential power distribution systems, where there is a need for safe, reliable, and aesthetically appealing transformer design. Their enclosed construction allows the installation of pad-mount transformers in public areas without protective fencing.
A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), is a transformer used in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low voltage signal to the actual VT (voltage transformer) used for operating metering/protective relays due to a lower cost than an electromagnetic PT.
