Digital DC Ammeters

 

Digital DC Ammeters
Two Styles: DCA-20PC Series with built-in shunts; DCA5-20PC Series for external shunts

DCA-20PC Series

  • Built-in shunts measure 200µA to 20A over 6 ranges
  • On-board load and supply connections for 3-wire operation
  • 8-36VDC isolated supplies for high-side shunts
  • 5-40VDC supplies for 5V/12V/24V/28V operation
  • Low-loss 20mV shunts
  • Available in red, green, or blue LEDs

DCA-20PC Series dc ammeters include on-board shunts for measuring dc currents from 200uA to 20A. These ammeters are functionally complete
— no user-supplied components are required. Built-in load
DCA-20PC Series
and supply connections allow easy 3-wire installation. Two power options are available: 8-36VDC isolated supplies for high-side shunts; and 5-40VDC non-isolated supplies for standard 5/12/24/28V applications.

DCA5-20PC Series

  • Scales & displays output of 50mV & 100mV external shunts
  • Measure dc currents from 1A to 2000A
  • Wide-range, isolated and non-isolated supply inputs
  • 48V option for telecom applications
  • Subminiature packages with screw-style terminal blocks
  • Red, green or blue LEDs; 50+ models
  • Digital upgrade for analog meters

DCA5-20PC Series dc ammeters are designed to scale , digitize and display the output of all popular 50mV and 100mV dc shunts. 25 input ranges simplify measurements of currents from 1A to 2000A. Except for the external shunt, no user supplied DCA5-20PC Series
components or calibration is required. Flexible power supply inputs make these ammeters perfect for all new and upgrade dc ammeter applications.

We recommend that you use models with Isolated Power Supplies to avoid potential conflicts between your “supply” power and your “measured” power. See Data Sheets for more information about these potential conflicts.

DCA5-20PC models.   For use with External 100mV Shunts:

The following models have a full scale display of either 1.000,  10.00, 100.0 or 1000
with the appropriate 100 mV shunt or 5.00, 50.0 or 500 with the appropriate 50 mV shunt.
