Product Identity

The Value Brand 12G378 is a 3.5 inch analog panel meter designed to measure AC current from 0 to 15 amps. It suits electricians, panel builders and maintenance engineers who need a permanent, panel-mounted indication of load current. The moving-iron movement and glass-filled polycarbonate case are built for industrial environments. Buyers who need digital readouts, data logging or DC measurement should look elsewhere.

Installation Notes

A mounting template and mounting screws are included in the package, so the meter can be fitted to a panel cut-out without extra hardware. The case is made from 10 percent glass-filled polycarbonate with a polycarbonate window. Take care not to over-tighten the screws, as excessive force can crack the polycarbonate housing. Wiring must match the AC current range and local electrical codes.

Interface Limits

The meter carries a UL listing and offers an accuracy of plus or minus 1.5 percent of full scale. The moving-iron mechanism responds to the heating effect of the current, so it reads true RMS on sinusoidal waveforms but may show errors on heavily distorted waveforms. The fixed 0 to 15 amp range cannot be changed in the field. For currents above 15 amps an external current transformer would be required.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the meter is reading correctly after wiring it into a 15 A circuit?

With a known 15 A load the pointer should settle at full scale; the moving-iron movement is calibrated to ±1.5 % accuracy.

The listing mentions mounting hardware — what else is included and what must I supply?

A mounting template and mounting screws are in the box; you provide the panel cut-out and the wiring to the 0–15 A terminals.

The model is listed as 12G378 — are there other ranges or case sizes under the same series?

This specific unit is the 3.5 in case with a 0–15 AC A scale; other ranges or sizes carry different part numbers.
