Product Details

Model: 321-1

Function: Measures direct current (D.C. Amperes)

Scale: The full-scale reading is up to 1200 Amperes.

Movement: It is a 50 mV (millivolt) movement meter, meaning it requires an external current shunt that provides a 50 mV output at 1200 Amperes to function correctly with the scale shown. Ammeters designed for currents over 50 Amperes typically use such an external shunt system.
