Digital Ammeters

A digital ammeter is an electronic panel measuring device that shows the measured current in amperes on a numeric display. It is used to monitor AC line current in distribution, generator and machine panels, and DC current in battery and rectifier circuits. This category includes Tense, Entes and Schneider Electric models with 36 × 72, 48 × 48, 72 × 72 and 96 × 96 mm panel-mount housings as well as DIN rail models; types with an X/5 A current transformer input and direct input, models that come with the current transformer in the box, and DC ammeters with a 60 mV shunt input are available. Select the device by current type, whether the current input is X/5 A with a transformer or direct, measuring range, supply voltage and panel dimension. Some models also offer a protection function with adjustable high and low current set values. A digital ammeter only shows current and is not a substitute for a panel-mount multimeter that shows voltage, current and frequency on the same display.

How to choose Digital Ammeters

A digital ammeter is an electronic panel measuring device that shows the measured current in amperes on a numeric display. It is used to monitor AC line current in distribution, generator and machine panels, and DC current in battery and rectifier circuits.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
