VDQ96.P-C (240°)
AMPERE METER
ORDER NO.: 30071-148
SCALE: 0-60A
MALEOMRADE: 60/5A
The DEIF VDQ96.P-C is a panel-mounted analogue ammeter designed for accurate current measurement in marine electrical and power distribution systems. Featuring a 240° arc scale and a 0-60A measurement range with a 60/5A current transformer ratio, this instrument provides clear, reliable current indication at the switchboard or control panel level. As part of DEIF’s VDQ96 series of flush-mount panel instruments, it plays an essential role in marine control system installations where continuous monitoring of electrical load is critical to safe vessel operation.
Key Features
✓ Analogue ammeter with 240° arc display, 0-60A scale, and 60/5A current transformer ratio as specified in the original product data.
✓ 96mm panel-mount format (VDQ96 series), suitable for standard switchboard cut-outs found across marine main and auxiliary control panels.
✓ Designed for use with external current transformers, enabling safe, isolated current measurement without direct high-current wiring through the instrument.
✓ Compatible with DEIF marine switchboard and generator control panel installations — exact system compatibility subject to confirmation based on panel configuration and version.
✓ Replacement and retrofit suitability should be confirmed against existing panel cut-out dimensions, CT ratio, and wiring arrangement before installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Main switchboard and generator panels aboard merchant vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, and offshore support vessels requiring continuous current monitoring.
✓ Auxiliary electrical distribution boards where individual feeder or load current must be displayed locally at the panel face.
✓ Engine room control consoles on vessels operating DEIF-based power management and generator control systems.
✓ Shore power and bus-tie panel installations where current flow indication is required for safe parallel or transfer operations.
✓ Retrofit and like-for-like replacement applications on existing DEIF switchboard installations to restore panel instrumentation functionality.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
DEIF panel instruments are a trusted standard across commercial and offshore marine electrical systems. The VDQ96.P-C ammeter delivers straightforward, reliable current indication with a robust analogue display suited to the demanding environment of engine room and switchboard installations, where readability and durability are priorities.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, offshore support vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, ferries, and any vessel operating DEIF-equipped switchboards or generator control panels requiring panel-face current metering.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote troubleshooting guidance, installation support, and commissioning advice are available for DEIF panel instrumentation, subject to confirmation of the specific system configuration. Retrofit and integration suitability into existing switchboard assemblies depends on panel cut-out size, current transformer specification, and wiring compatibility. To confirm correct fitment and interchangeability, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the original order number (30071-148), existing CT ratio details, panel drawings or schematics, the vessel name or IMO number, and the make and model of the associated switchboard or control system. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided.
