Analogue Voltmeter AC (Product Code: SCL1399/030) measures alternating voltage on three ranges — 0–3 V, 0–15 V and 0–30 V — with a 0.1 V division listed for its scale. The meter has a left-hand zero indicator, a zero-position adjustment and a stationary 100 x 100 x 140 mm bench case. Its multi-range design lets one instrument follow the low voltages of a transformer’s secondary coil as well as the higher outputs of a school AC supply, making it a practical addition to the physics lab instruments that schools in India use for AC work. Manufacturer: Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana.

The classic application is the transformer ratio experiment: students measure the primary voltage on one range, the secondary voltage on another, and compare the ratio with the number of turns on each coil. Step-up and step-down arrangements are easy to follow because switching between the 3 V, 15 V and 30 V ranges keeps the pointer in a readable part of the scale. The meter also checks the output of a low-voltage AC supply before a lesson and shows how voltage divides across lamps or resistors connected in series on AC.
Connect it in parallel across the component being tested. When the voltage is unknown, begin on the 30 V range and move down only once the reading is clearly within a lower range. Use it with low-voltage AC sources only — never on the mains directly — and zero the pointer before each session for consistent results.

Which voltage ranges are available?
Three AC ranges: 0–3 V, 0–15 V and 0–30 V.
What is the scale division on each range?
The product listing gives a 0.1 V division. If you need the division confirmed for each individual range, for example for a worksheet, please ask us through the contact page.
Can it measure DC voltage?
It is specified for alternating current. For DC circuits choose the Analogue Voltmeter instead.
Is it suitable for mains voltage?
No. Its highest range is 30 V, so it is intended for low-voltage AC from a school supply or transformer secondary.
How should the meter be looked after?
Store it flat in a dry place, avoid knocks that can bend the pointer, and never leave it connected to a voltage above the selected range.
Do you supply schools abroad as well as in India?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies institutions and distributors in India and international markets; share your quantity and destination for a quotation.
