0-50 A analog ammeter

The BEP 0-50A analog ammeter is a DC measuring instrument for panel mounting, ideal for monitoring battery circuit current and consumption. It can be connected to one, two, or three different shunts (one 50A shunt included), allowing centralized monitoring of multiple circuits. This product is still manufactured and not obsolete, but it is more basic than the brand’s digital models (such as the BEP Digital Meter).

Detailed description

The BEP 0-50A analog ammeter (ref. 80-601-0024-00) is a panel-mounted measuring instrument designed for marine and industrial DC electrical systems. It provides direct and reliable current readings up to 50 amperes without requiring external power. This model stands out for its ability to connect to one, two, or three different shunts, selectable via an integrated switch, offering flexibility to monitor multiple circuits from a single control point.

Versatility and system integration

Unlike newer digital ammeters in the BEP range (such as the Digital Meter series), this analog model offers the advantage of instantaneous, delay-free readings, ideal for monitoring rapid load variations. The instrument comes with a 50A shunt but can be used with shunts of different ratings (not included) to extend its measurement range or monitor separate circuits. This feature makes it particularly suitable for installation on a main electrical panel where centralizing battery, charging, and consumption current monitoring is desired.

Robust construction for marine environments

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand by BEP Marine, this ammeter features robust construction suited for marine conditions. Its flush-mount housing integrates cleanly into standard electrical panels. It is supplied with a drilling template to facilitate installation. Although its dimensions are close to those of the SBH series (Splashproof Battery Hub), it does not share their IP66 waterproof rating, making it an instrument intended for indoor use or a dry technical compartment.

« A robust and versatile analog ammeter for DC monitoring »

The BEP 0-50A analog ammeter is a reliable, field-proven tool for monitoring DC currents aboard. Its main advantage lies in its ability to operate with up to three different shunts, selectable via a switch. This allows, for example, monitoring the charging current of the battery bank, the consumption of the engine circuit, and that of the service circuit from a single instrument. It is an elegant solution for centralizing information without multiplying dials. The absence of active electronics makes it immune to power failures and electrical noise, ensuring readings in all circumstances. Note, however: this is not a waterproof product; it must be installed in a dry electrical panel, protected from splashes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What type of current is this ammeter designed to measure?

This ammeter is specifically designed to measure direct current (DC).

What is the measurement range of this analog ammeter?

This ammeter has a measurement range from 0 to 50 amperes (0-50A).

Is this a digital or analog ammeter?

This is an analog ammeter, meaning it displays the current measurement via a needle on a graduated dial.

What is included in this ammeter pack?

The ammeter is supplied with a shunt.

Is this ammeter suitable for use in a marine environment?

Yes, this ammeter is from the BEP brand, known for its marine electrical equipment products, and is designed for panel mounting in nautical applications.

Which brand is this ammeter?

This ammeter is a product from the BEP brand.

What is the mounting type for this ammeter?

This ammeter is designed for panel-mount installation, making it ideal for integration into dashboards or electrical panels.

Is it necessary to use a shunt for the installation of this ammeter?

Yes, a shunt is absolutely necessary for this ammeter to measure current. A shunt is included with the device.

How to connect the ammeter to the shunt?

The ammeter is connected to the shunt using measurement wires. The shunt must be inserted in series in the circuit whose current you want to measure. The ammeter then measures the small voltage drop across the shunt.

Where should the shunt be installed in the electrical circuit?

The shunt must be installed in series with the load or current source you wish to monitor. It is important to position it so that all the current to be measured passes through it.

Does this ammeter require external power to operate?

An analog ammeter of this type typically does not require external power for its basic measurement function, as it uses the voltage drop across the shunt. If the device includes backlighting, a separate power supply (often 12V DC) would be required for this function only, but this is not specified for this model.

What are the required cut-out dimensions for panel mounting?

The exact cut-out dimensions for panel mounting are provided in the product-specific installation documentation. Refer to this document to ensure correct installation.

Can this ammeter be used to monitor battery charge or discharge?

Yes, provided the shunt is correctly installed in the battery's charging or discharging circuit, this ammeter can monitor the current entering or leaving the battery.

Is it compatible with 24V DC electrical systems?

The ammeter itself, measuring voltage drop across the shunt, is generally compatible with 24V DC systems as long as the shunt is correctly sized for the maximum current. However, if the device has a backlight requiring power, this may be limited to 12V DC, requiring a converter if the system is 24V. This information is not specified for this model.

What are the typical applications for this marine ammeter?

This ammeter is ideal for monitoring DC current in various marine applications, such as power consumption of electrical equipment, battery charging from solar panels or alternators, and battery discharge.

Is the wiring of this ammeter complex?

Installing and wiring an ammeter with a shunt requires a solid understanding of electrical principles and safety. It is recommended to have a professional handle this or to carefully follow the wiring instructions in the manual to avoid damage or risk.
