Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 8258 is a precision AC ammeter designed for monitoring alternating current in marine and mobile power systems. This 2 3/4" analog meter provides accurate readings from 0 to 100 amps using a non-invasive current sensing coil that slips over the wire to be measured, eliminating the need to cut or splice wiring.

Key Features:

  • 2 3/4" flat scale display for easy, precise reading
  • 0-100A AC current measurement range
  • Includes internal transformer and external current sensing coil
  • Non-invasive installation - coil slips over wire without cutting
  • Simple two-wire connection for power and sensing
  • LED backlighting for low-light visibility (16mA @ 12V DC, 20mA @ 24V DC)
  • Surface or panel mounting options with 2 1/16" mounting hole
  • 50mA AC current draw at full scale
  • Lifetime warranty from Blue Sea Systems

This ammeter is ideal for monitoring AC loads from generators, inverters, and shore power systems. The modern flat scale design and LED backlighting make it easy to read in any lighting condition, while the non-invasive current coil allows for clean, professional installations without interrupting existing wiring.

First order. Lets see how it goes.

Best price

Almost a perfect score! I was pleased with the customer service but knowledge about their products warranties was lacking. Other than that, the representative that I spoke with on the phone was great. He was friendly and had a good overall knowledge of the products I was asking about. Pointed me in the right direction because I couldn't be happier with my bike rack. They had the best prices, lowest shipping costs, and my order arrived a day early. Great website to work with. I will definitely be doing business again and spreading the word about Autoplicity.com.

discount codes brought prices down just under competitors with shipping. keep prices down and Ill come back again.

Happy so far.
