Introduction
Analog ammeters are essential instruments for monitoring and controlling electrical currents in industrial and commercial systems. Electrónica Embajadores offers a wide range of analog ammeters providing high accuracy and durability, designed to ensure reliable and consistent current measurement.
Our products are manufactured using high-quality materials, comply with current standards, and are suitable for various electrical installations — from small-scale applications to large industrial systems.
What is an Analog Ammeter?
An analog ammeter is an electrical measuring instrument that indicates the current flowing through a circuit by means of a moving needle over a graduated scale. Its operation is based on an electromechanical movement sensitive to the current passing through it.
These instruments allow real-time visualisation of electric current, appreciated for their quick response and easy readability in industrial environments and control panels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of an analog ammeter over a digital one?
Analog ammeters offer instant, visual feedback on current behaviour, making it easier to detect fluctuations and spikes quickly, while digital ammeters provide precise values but may not show real-time variations as intuitively.
Can these ammeters be used for both direct and alternating current?
We offer specific models for direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). It is important to select the appropriate ammeter according to the current type.
How do I choose the right measurement range?
You should know the expected current range in the circuit and select an ammeter with a range exceeding this value to avoid damage and ensure precise readings.
Are the ammeters covered by warranty?
Yes, all Electrónica Embajadores products come with warranty and professional technical support.
