Current measurement carries a lot of information about a given device or circuit. That is why an ammeter is a basic tool for every electrician. Unfortunately, in addition to good and reliable devices, you can also come across a poor quality model. The problem is not only their short lifespan, but above all, low measurement accuracy, which can lead to incorrect conclusions. To avoid doubts, it is worth choosing ammeters with the logo of well-known and recognized companies. What else is worth paying attention to when buying?
Types of ammeters
Ammeters can be divided into different categories. Until recently, it was common to talk about analog and digital devices. Today, however, the latter almost completely dominate the market. Reading the values from a clear LCD screen is much more convenient. Although the analog ammeter was more useful when the current changed quickly over time, modern models more often indicate the necessary average value.
Another division can be the application of a given measuring device. In this respect, we can distinguish small DC ammeters used in small control systems, AC network meters and universal measuring devices, also called multimeters. Each type serves a different purpose, so it is impossible to compare them with each other. However, in each category, we can point out a reliable model with good accuracy at an attractive price. We present such models below.

The 5 best ammeters in the Onninen wholesaler
Are you looking for a reliable ammeter that you can always rely on? We have some interesting suggestions for you that you will definitely like. We have selected the best available models for the five most popular applications.
NEF30MC Digital AC Meter
The small NEF30MC digital ammeter will fit anywhere. It allows you to measure the intensity of alternating current and constantly displays the result on a clear display. It is a perfect combination of minimalism and functionality: the product has a certificate of conformity, confirming its measurement accuracy. The device is intended for low-voltage installations.
Ammeter RDA1A Emas
A portable digital meter with the ability to connect to a circuit and observe changes in current? The Emas RDA1A ammeter is a universal solution for small circuits. It measures up to 10A in AC and DC installations. Additionally, it has a screen blanking function or ambient temperature measurement. Its advantages also include resistance to external conditions. A durable and reliable measuring device is designed for the most demanding electricians.
F&F Multifunction Digital Multimeter
You don't have to limit yourself to measuring just one value. Using the multifunctional digital F&F ammeter, you can also check the network overload, power consumption or voltage. You can mount it, for example, in a switchboard to constantly monitor the parameters of the entire network. It will work not only in single-phase installations - four connectors allow you to connect it to a three-phase network as well.
Three-phase current indicator F&F DMA-3T
If you do not need so much information, but the measurement must be made on a three-phase network, choose the F&F DMA-3T ammeter. High measurement accuracy and a legible display are not the only advantages of this model. Simultaneous measurement of the current for each phase separately gives a full picture of the situation.
Digital multimeter CMM-11
The CMM-11 digital multimeter will allow you to take a quick measurement. The portable device works perfectly not only as an ammeter, but also as a voltmeter or a tester for connecting two points. Small size makes it easy to carry the device to any place, and the intuitive knob allows you to set the measured value and measurement range. This is essential equipment for every electrician.
