Panel Ammeter for AC Circuits

The Unique-Bargains 85L1 is an analogue panel meter designed to measure alternating current. It suits electricians and technicians who need a clear visual indication of load on a switchboard or control panel. The Class 2.5 accuracy rating defines its measurement tolerance for professional use.

Requires External Current Transformer

This meter does not connect directly to the circuit under test. A separate 50/5A current transformer must be installed to step the primary current down to the instrument range. The panel cut-out accepts the 64 x 56mm body secured by 4mm and 3mm diameter screws, leaving the wiring loom free for the CT leads.

Fine-Tuning Button for Calibration

The supplied unit includes a front-mounted adjustment button that lets the operator zero the needle or trim the reading against a reference standard. No additional accessories, shunts or configuration software are bundled, so the installer must source the matching CT and mounting hardware separately.

Questions about this item

What is the highest current the 85L1 can display on its scale?

The scale reads up to 50 A AC, so any load above that goes off the end of the dial.

How much heat or noise does the meter itself produce during continuous operation?

The movement is passive and generates no audible noise or measurable heat; only the external CT warms slightly.

Which current transformer must I already have to use this ammeter?

A 50/5 A CT is required — the meter expects a 5 A secondary signal and cannot connect directly to the load.
