Ammeter Pilot Lights

Ammeter pilot lights are panel-mount indicators that use the digital display in a 22 mm pilot light housing to show the current flowing through a line in amperes. They are used to monitor the current drawn by motors, heaters and similar loads from the panel door in compact panels with no room for a separate ammeter. In this category, 22 mm mounting diameter models from Gwest, Isıso and Konsan are listed with white, red, blue, yellow and green display colors; the measuring range is given as 0-100 A, and Gwest and Isıso products are supplied with a current transformer. Choose the model so that the current to be measured stays within the measuring range, according to whether the current transformer comes with the product, the mounting diameter and the color scheme of the panel. Because measurement is made through a current transformer, these indicators are for alternating current circuits. Do not confuse the ammeter pilot light with the similar-looking voltmeter pilot light; the voltmeter type shows the voltage between two terminals, while the ammeter type shows the current through the conductor.

How to choose Ammeter Pilot Lights

Ammeter pilot lights are panel-mount indicators that use the digital display in a 22 mm pilot light housing to show the current flowing through a line in amperes. They are used to monitor the current drawn by motors, heaters and similar loads from the panel door in compact panels with no room for a separate ammeter.

  • 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.
