Value Brand 12G371 Analog Panel Meter AC Current 0-5A

SKU CH-2CDT-2AV7D

An analog panel meter measuring AC current from 0 to 5 A with 1.5% accuracy in a 4.5-inch polycarbonate case

  • Product typeElectronic
  • Accurate AC current monitoring with ±1.5% precision
  • Moving iron movement ensures reliable 0-5A readings
  • 5 inch case fits standard panel cutouts
  • UL listed for safety compliance in installations
  • Glass-filled polycarbonate case resists impact and heat

Product Identity

The Value Brand 12G371 is a new analog panel meter designed for AC current measurement up to 5 amperes. It features a moving iron movement housed in a 10 percent glass-filled polycarbonate case with a polycarbonate window. The unit includes a mounting template and screws for panel installation.

Target Use

This meter suits technicians and engineers who need a straightforward AC current readout for switchgear, control panels or motor circuits. It is not intended for DC current monitoring, high-frequency waveform analysis or applications requiring digital data logging or remote telemetry interfaces.

Range and Limits

The instrument covers a 0 to 5 AC ampere range with a stated accuracy of ±1.5 percent of full scale. Its 4.5 inch case size fits standard panel cutouts while the moving iron mechanism provides reliable indication for sinusoidal waveforms. Overloads beyond the 5 ampere limit or non-sinusoidal currents will exceed the calibrated performance envelope.

Questions about this item

What panel cut-out size do I need for the 4.5 inch case?

The meter requires a standard 4.5 inch panel cut-out; the included mounting template shows the exact hole pattern.

Will the moving-iron movement read correctly on a non-sinusoidal waveform from a VFD?

Moving-iron movements respond to the heating effect of current, so they indicate true RMS only on pure sinusoidal waveforms; distorted waveforms will not read accurately.

How do I verify the ±1.5 % accuracy after wiring it in series?

Apply a known AC current from a calibrated source and confirm the pointer falls within ±1.5 % of full-scale at multiple points across the 0-5 A range.
