673460 - ESAB DC Welding Ammeter 0-1000A Panel Meter

Precision Current Monitoring for Industrial Welding

The ESAB DC Ammeter (SKU: 673460) is a critical instrumentation component designed for heavy-duty welding power sources. Engineered to measure Direct Current (DC) output ranging from 0 to 1000 Amperes, this panel meter is essential for applications requiring high-amperage processes such as Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Carbon Arc Gouging, and high-output MIG/MAG welding. Accurate current monitoring is fundamental to maintaining weld quality, ensuring that the heat input remains within the limits defined by the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS).

This unit features a standard 3.5-inch form factor, a common size for industrial panel instrumentation, making it a suitable replacement part for a wide variety of legacy and modern welding machines. The analog display offers distinct advantages in a welding environment; unlike digital displays which can sometimes flicker or become unreadable due to rapid fluctuations in arc current, the needle of an analog meter provides a stable visual average of the output, allowing operators to quickly assess performance at a glance. The scale is calibrated clearly from 0 to 1000A, providing the resolution needed for heavy fabrication tasks.

Durability is a key aspect of this component. Welding environments are often characterized by high levels of electrical noise, vibration, and dust. The ESAB 673460 is built to withstand these conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent calibration. Whether used for retrofitting older equipment or replacing a damaged gauge on a current production machine, this ammeter ensures that your equipment continues to operate safely and accurately. Proper instrumentation is the first step in quality control, and this high-capacity DC ammeter delivers the performance required for professional industrial environments.

Installation is straightforward for qualified maintenance personnel, utilizing standard panel mounting configurations. By restoring the ability to accurately read welding current, facilities can reduce rework caused by incorrect parameter settings and ensure compliance with strict industry standards.
