2062424 - DC Welding Ammeter 0-1500A Panel Gauge

Precision Monitoring for Heavy-Duty Welding

In the realm of industrial welding, control over heat input is paramount. The ESAB DC Ammeter 0-1500A (2062424) is a critical instrumentation component designed for heavy-duty welding power sources. Capable of displaying current output up to 1500 Amps, this meter is specifically engineered for high-deposition processes such as Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Carbon Arc Gouging, and high-amperage Flux Cored Welding. Accurate instrumentation is the first line of defense against weld defects, ensuring that operators are working within the qualified parameters of the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS).

Robust Industrial Design

Built to withstand the rigors of the shop floor, this analog panel meter features a robust movement mechanism that resists vibration and electrical noise common in welding environments. The "2.7 Type" form factor refers to its standardized housing dimensions, ensuring it fits seamlessly into the control panels of compatible ESAB machines and other industrial power sources requiring this specific footprint. The high-contrast scale provides excellent readability, allowing operators and supervisors to verify settings at a glance, even from a distance or through a protective welding screen.

Essential for Equipment Maintenance

Over time, panel meters can become damaged due to impact, dust ingress, or electrical surges. A non-functioning ammeter leaves the operator blind, relying on rough dial settings rather than actual output feedback. Replacing a faulty gauge with this OEM-quality component restores the machine's full functionality and safety. It is designed for Direct Current (DC) circuits, making it suitable for the vast majority of modern industrial welding rectifiers and inverters. Whether you are refurbishing an older power source or replacing a broken unit on a critical production machine, this ammeter ensures your equipment continues to deliver reliable performance data.

Installation and Compatibility

This unit is designed as a direct replacement part. It typically operates in conjunction with a calibrated internal shunt inside the welding machine (shunt not included). The meter measures the millivolt drop across the shunt and displays it as amperage on the 0-1500A scale. Proper installation ensures linear and accurate readings across the entire range, from low-end tacking to maximum output gouging.
