About AC-DC Ammeter Multirange
AC/DC Ammeter-Multirange
- A multi-range rectangular ammeter mounted on top of a sturdy plastic box, providing multiple ranges selectable through a rotatory knob with AC/DC selection through a toggle switch.
- AC output available through a pair of 4mm yellow shielded sockets and DC output through a pair of 4mm colour-coded shielded sockets.
- Ranges available are 10mA / 100mA / 500mA / 1A / 2.5A / 5A in both AC and DC
Versatile Multirange MeasurementThis ammeter provides flexible current measurement with selectable ranges of 0-1A, 5A, and 10A. It operates accurately on both AC and DC supplies, making it ideal for a variety of applications in electrical panel boards and systems requiring precise monitoring.
Durable and Reliable ConstructionEngineered from ABS plastic and equipped with copper connectors and a clear acrylic window, the ammeter is built for longevity. It withstands temperatures from -10C to +55C, offers high insulation resistance, and features a sturdy design fit for demanding industrial use.
Effortless Installation and OperationDesigned for flush or panel mounting, the ammeter's screw terminals simplify setup. The analog scale is easy to read with its high-contrast markings, and users can manually select the measurement range, ensuring straightforward operation without external power.
FAQ's of AC-DC Ammeter Multirange:
Q: How do I select the appropriate current range on this AC-DC ammeter?
A: The ammeter offers manual switch selection, allowing you to choose between 0-1A, 5A, or 10A ranges depending on your measurement needs. Adjust the selector switch on the panel to the required range before taking measurements.
Q: What types of panels is this ammeter suitable for installation?
A: This instrument is designed primarily for flush or panel mounting on electrical panel boards. Its square form factor (96 x 96 x 110 mm) and vertical mounting orientation make it an excellent choice for professional and industrial applications.
Q: When is it beneficial to use a multirange ammeter like this one?
A: A multirange ammeter is particularly valuable when monitoring circuits with varying current levels. Its selectable ranges allow a single device to be used in different applications, improving versatility and reducing the need for multiple instruments.
Q: Where should the AC-DC Ammeter Multirange be mounted for optimal performance?
A: For best results, mount the ammeter vertically on the front of the electrical panel using the dedicated flush or panel mountings. This ensures accurate readings, proper visibility of the high-contrast scale, and maintains the equipment's rated insulation properties.
Q: What connection terminals are provided, and how are they used?
A: The ammeter features screw terminals made of brass/copper for secure electrical connections. Simply attach your wiring to these terminals using proper screws, ensuring tight and reliable contact for accurate measurements and safe operation.
Q: How does the ammeter maintain safety and durability during operation?
A: Safety is ensured by high insulation resistance (>20 M at 500V DC), durable ABS housing, copper connectors, and a clear acrylic glass window. It operates reliably within temperatures of -10C to +55C and withstands voltages up to 600V, making it resilient against demanding conditions.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this panel-mounted analog ammeter?
A: Key benefits include multiple range selection for versatile applications, high measurement accuracy, direct power from the input signal (eliminating the need for an external supply), clear analog scale for easy reading, and rugged durability for long-term industrial use.
