Can anyone with experience using this meter post the specifications of its use and does it need an inline resistor or just as is?

Hi Why,



Notice in the lower right corner of the meter display it says: FS=5A. That means Full Scale takes 5 Amps actual input. The meter has 2 scales going to 40 & 80 Amperes. So it is intended to be used with a current transformer with a ratio of 8:1 or 16:1. It also is marked 25-125~ indicating the frequency range. Obviously AC.

Hope that helps,

Eric Dollard says it needs a 40 to 5 or 80 to 5 current transformer. Otherwise, it is a 5 amp meter. With the right current transformer, you can make it read anything you want.

Thank you guys for the information.

Bistander, thank you for the letter deciphering of the meter.

Aaron, thank you for the relay from Eric Dollard.
