Analogue Ammeter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Analogue Ammeter (Product Code: SCL1285/027) is a stationary moving-pointer meter for direct current with three measuring ranges: 0–50 mA, 0–500 mA and 0–5 A. Each scale division equals 1/50 of the selected range’s maximum, the pointer rests at a left-hand zero, and a zero-adjustment lets the teacher correct the rest position before a reading. Schools and colleges use it as the current meter in DC circuit practicals, and it forms one half of the ammeter and voltmeter pair that every school physics lab in India needs. The meter is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for bench use in teaching labs.

Specifications

Typical Use

The ammeter is connected in series with the component under test, observing polarity, and the range is chosen to suit the expected current: the 50 mA scale for small currents through resistors and LEDs, the 500 mA scale for lamps and small motors, and the 5 A scale for heavier loads such as electromagnets. Together with a voltmeter, a rheostat and a DC supply, it makes up the core of an Ohm’s law experiment kit in India’s secondary and senior-secondary labs, where students plot current against voltage and calculate resistance.

Good practice is to start on the highest range when the current is unknown and step down until the pointer sits in the upper part of the scale, where the reading is most precise. Check that the pointer rests exactly on zero before switching on, using the zero adjustment if needed, and never connect the meter directly across a supply without a load in the circuit.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces this meter under its ScienceLab trade name at Ambala in Haryana, alongside a catalogue of electrical and physics teaching apparatus for institutions. For more on the company, see the company profile.

Related Lab Equipment

A DC current meter is only one part of the circuit; these items complete a typical practical:

• Analogue Voltmeter — the DC voltmeter listed alongside it, for Ohm’s law work.
• Power Source For Teacher — a bench power source for driving the circuit.
• Rheostat — varies the current in steps for a set of readings.
• Resistance Box — provides known resistances to test against.
• Banana Plug Connectors Leads — secure leads for connecting the meter in series.

Further measuring instruments are listed in the Lab Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ranges does this ammeter have?
Three DC ranges: 0–50 mA, 0–500 mA and 0–5 A, with each division equal to 1/50 of the selected maximum.

Can it measure alternating current?
No, it is a DC instrument. For AC circuits choose the Analogue Ammeter AC instead.

How is the meter zeroed?
With no current flowing, turn the zero-position adjuster until the pointer sits exactly on the left-hand zero mark.

What are its dimensions?
The stationary case measures 100 x 100 x 140 mm, a size that stands steadily on a student bench.

Is a calibration certificate available?
The listing does not mention one. If your lab or tender requires calibration documentation, please discuss availability with us through the contact page before ordering.

What should I include in a quotation request for several lab tables?
Give the product code SCL1285/027, the number of meters, whether you also need voltmeters and power sources, and the delivery location. We supply institutions across India and international markets.
