IME S.p.A. RQ72E AC Ammeter 72x72mm 30/5A

The IME S.p.A. RQ72E is a professional analog AC ammeter engineered for precise current measurement in electrical distribution panels. Housed in a standard 72x72 mm square frame, this device is specifically calibrated for use with a 30/5A current transformer. It offers a clear, reliable visual display of real-time electrical current, making it an essential component for monitoring power consumption and ensuring the stability of industrial and commercial electrical systems.

Advantages

This analog ammeter provides immediate, at-a-glance readings that do not require power-up time or digital interface navigation, ensuring constant visibility of current levels. Its robust construction is designed for panel mounting, offering durability in demanding environments. By utilizing a current transformer input, the device allows for the safe monitoring of higher current circuits while maintaining high measurement accuracy and long-term operational reliability.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution panels
• Commercial electrical switchboards
• Monitoring electrical current in machinery
• Energy management and maintenance systems

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring digital data logging, remote network connectivity, or high-precision measurements of non-sinusoidal waveforms. It is also not intended for direct measurement of high-voltage circuits without an appropriate current transformer.

Key specifications

• Display type: Analog moving iron
• Panel dimensions: 72x72 mm
• Input range: 30/5A (via current transformer)
• Mounting style: Panel mount
• Measurement type: AC current

To use the ammeter, ensure it is securely mounted into a 72x72 mm cutout on your electrical panel. Connect the secondary output of your 30/5A current transformer to the input terminals of the device according to the wiring diagram. Verify that all connections are tight and that the transformer ratio matches the meter calibration before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your panel has a 72x72 mm cutout available
• Ensure you have a compatible 30/5A current transformer
• Confirm the system frequency matches the device requirements
• Check if analog display meets your monitoring needs

Ensure that the current transformer is properly installed and the secondary circuit is never left open while the primary circuit is energized to prevent damage to the transformer and potential safety hazards.
