Simpson Electric 02540 Dc Ammeter Panel Meter 100A

Product Description

The SIMPSON ELECTRIC 02540 is an analog DC ammeter panel meter designed for direct-current amperage measurement in electrical panels and control enclosures. It uses a moving-pointer analog display to provide continuous, real-time current readings without requiring a powered display circuit. The meter accepts a maximum input of 100 amps DC and connects via screw terminals, making field installation straightforward for licensed electricians and controls technicians. It carries UL Recognized status under File E91015, confirming it meets established safety standards for panel-mounted instrumentation.

This meter is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial DC electrical systems where a reliable, easy-to-read current display is needed at the panel face. Typical applications include DC power distribution panels, battery bank monitoring installations, and industrial control cabinets. It is specified for use with the 1227 0-100 ADC 2-1/2 Model Panel Meter assembly, making it a direct-fit component for that configuration.

Key Features

• 100-amp DC maximum input range
• Screw terminal connections for secure, tool-based field wiring
• UL Recognized under File E91015
• Specified for use with the 1227 0-100 ADC 2-1/2 Model Panel Meter assembly

Compatibility

Specified for use with the 1227 0-100 ADC 2-1/2 Model Panel Meter. Designed as an OEM-style panel meter component for DC ammeter measurement applications in electrical control and distribution enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before wiring the meter terminals. Verify that the source DC amperage does not exceed the 100-amp rated input before connecting. Secure all screw terminal connections firmly to prevent loose-contact faults under load.
