Digital ammeters (DC)

Choose SACI ammeters

At SACI we have digital direct current (DC) ammeters like this one which can measure the current flowing in one direction only.

This ammeter is often used in battery circuits, solar panels or devices that operate with this type of current, among others. It is very easy to set up and use, in addition to presenting a high durability and to be able to withstand any kind of industrial environment.

This model, in addition to being present in various sizes, can be purchased at the 3 1⁄2 and 4 1⁄2 digit version. We recommend the former for most electronic applications, as well as for laboratories and workshops.

On the other hand, the latter are perfect for situations where greater precision is required, such as industrial process control, machinery calibration or research and development. In any case, if you have any doubts about which is best for your situation, we encourage you to contact us.

The use of digital ammeters is widespread in industry and in the maintenance and electronics sector for the following purposes monitor and control the operation and consumption of electrical equipment, as well as to detect power failures or perform diagnostics. In addition, SACI has ISO certifications that guarantee that our products comply with all international quality standards.

Why equip your industry with digital ammeters?

Digital ammeters are an indispensable element in any modern industry. By measuring the intensity of the electric current, these devices allow to detect overloads or short circuits on equipment that is being subjected to an electrical load greater than it can withstand. In this way, it is possible to preventing accidents and machinery failure to be rendered unusable.

In that sense, digital ammeters allow industries to know how much they have to adjust the current strength of circuits.

But that's not all, SACI's ammeters are also used for optimising energy consumption together with the electricity meters, The intensity at a specific moment in time allows us to know if it is adequate or not.

Analogue ammeters vs. digital ammeters, why switch?

If your industrial equipment still has analogue ammeters, it may be a good idea to consider replacing them with the digital alternative. Here are the advantages of this more modern option.

• Greater accuracy: Digital ammeters eliminate the subjectivity that can be created when reading an analogue ammeter, so they can be used to more accurately monitor the electrical intensity of industrial processes.
• Ease of use: reading numbers is easier than interpreting the position of a needle and therefore quicker. Digital ammeters save time in all measuring processes. But not only that, they are also easier to configure.
• Adaptability: In addition to being able to measure the intensity of different types of current, they also have a wider range of industrial applications.

Frequently asked questions about digital ammeters

What kind of digital ammeters are available at SACI?

In addition to DC current ammeters such as this one, we also offer digital AC current ammeters.

There is a choice of panel ammeters, for installation in control panels, and modular ammeters, for mounting on a DIN rail in an electrical panel. They are ideal in cases where you wish to to continuously measure the current in a system.

What should I consider when buying a digital ammeter?

First of all, you must make sure that the ammeter can measure the current you have available. It is important to know if the installation will exceed 50 amps, as in that case it is necessary to add a shunt along with the installation of the DC ammeter.

On the other hand, it is essential that the display is well-lit and easy to read. And finally, it is crucial that the device measures current accurately. At SACI all our digital ammeters meet these three quality characteristics.
