Application Mechanical Data
The moving iron panel meters, DE 48/72/96/144 housed in moulded Case details Moulded square case suitable for
polycarbonate cases are suitable for the measurement of AC mounting in Control / switchgear
currents for frequency range of 15...400Hz and voltages in the panels Machinery consoles.
frequency range of 15...100Hz. Case material Polycarbonate ,
Moving iron meters indicate rms-values practically independent of flame retardant and drip proof as
waveform even of high harmonics. Error of indication may occur for per UL 94 V-0.
