Aircraft
During a visual approach to Runway XXR we complied with a TCAS RA which instructed us to climb due to a TCAS target 100 feet below us. As we climbed the TCAS target climbed with our airplane. The TCAS target remained at a 100 ft distance underneath us while executing the climb in an attempt to resolve the conflict. During the attempt to create separation from the TCAS target we temporarily and inadvertently exceeded engine power limitations.We visually confirmed that engine limitations were exceeded temporarily. The failure to create immediate separation from the TCAS target lead to distraction of engine power settings. We immediately reduced power while maintaining the climb in accordance with the TCAS RA. Increased scanning would have avoided this event.
DHC-8-300 First Officer reported a sudden TCAS RA for an intruder 100 feet below their aircraft. Maximum allowable engine torque was exceeded while trying to out climb the intruder which maintained a constant 100 foot separation.
