Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 8246-BSS AC Micro Ammeter is a compact, panel-mount analog current meter designed to monitor AC current draw from 0 to 50 amperes. Ideal for marine, RV, and electrical panel installations, this micro ammeter offers a non-invasive measurement solution using an included AC current transformer coil — no need to cut or splice into the wire being monitored.

Key Features:

  • Measurement Range: 0 to 50A AC, with the dial marked in 2-amp increments for easy reading
  • Simple 2-Wire Connection: The meter senses current and draws its operating power directly from the included coil, which slips over the wire to be measured
  • Includes AC Current Transformer: The coil (current transformer) is included — no external shunt or additional wiring required
  • Backlit Meter Face: Built-in backlight for clear visibility in low-light conditions; operates at 16mA at 12V DC or 20mA at 24V DC
  • Compact Micro Size: 2-inch (50.8mm) face size fits standard panel cutouts
  • Operating Current (Meter): 50mA AC at full scale
  • Lightweight: 0.26 lbs (0.12 kg)
  • Lifetime Replacement Warranty from Blue Sea Systems

The Blue Sea Systems 8246-BSS is a trusted choice for electrical monitoring panels on boats, shore power systems, and off-grid installations. Its tool-free current sensing design and integrated backlight make it one of the most user-friendly AC ammeters available for panel builders and marine electricians.

Only a low start because I am not a boater, nor know boaters.

Product was exactly what I was looking for and since it's becoming obsolete, it was a great find, priced reasonably and delivered in a timely manner. I'm very satisfied, thank you.

Auto is 1971 Lotus Elan. Not available in options

Received order as promised, packaged well and items were exactly as advertised.

Good pricing and fast shipping, good place to do your boat shopping.
