BE39 Bimetallic ammeter

Maximum ammeters BA and BE series are destined to measure the averaging RMS value of a a.c. current, in a 8 or 15 minutes’ period.

An additional red pointer, displaced by the black pointer, shows the maximal current value which occurred from the last zeroing of the meter indication. The applied bimetal movement is especially useful when measuring the load in power line, of generators, electrical motors and others, where important momentary changes of load occur.

 

Description

Lumel BE39 Bimetallic ammeter and combined ammeters are especially intended for thermal monitoring of transformers, cables and other electrical devices which have a slow reaction to current changes. They indicate the mean rms current value during the measuring period of the meter (8 or 15 min.) These meters do not react to short current pulses essentially. The range of these meters can be enlarged by means of external measuring current transformers which are also offered by Lumel and can be delivered on request if the meter is ordered in the option enabling a direct assembling on the current transformer.

The BE39 Bimetallic ammeter is a type of combined with bimetallic and moving-iron ammeters: In this type, there is additionally a moving-iron movement fitted in the opposite corner of the meter housing to get the instantaneous reading of the load current.
