The DEIF EQ96-X is a panel-mount analog ampere meter designed for continuous current measurement in marine electrical and power control systems. Scaled for operation with a current transformer ratio of 400/5A up to 800A, this instrument provides engineers with a direct, reliable readout of electrical load — a critical requirement in shipboard switchboard and generator management applications. As part of DEIF’s established range of marine-grade instrumentation, the EQ96-X fits within the broader category of Marine Control Systems, supporting safe and efficient vessel power monitoring across a wide range of vessel types.
Key Features
✓ Analog panel-mount ammeter with a scaled measurement range corresponding to a CT ratio of 400/5A up to 800A, providing clear and immediate current readout without digital dependency.
✓ Carries part reference 1200022400C and internal code 562030; compatibility with specific panels or switchboard configurations should be confirmed against nameplate data and system drawings.
✓ Designed for integration with standard 5A secondary current transformers, making it compatible with typical marine generator panels, main switchboards, and distribution boards — subject to confirmation of CT ratio and panel cutout dimensions.
✓ The 96mm (EQ96) panel format is a widely adopted industry standard, typically suited for flush mounting in main switchboard fascias, engine control room panels, and power management console fronts.
✓ Replacement and retrofit considerations should include verification of the existing CT ratio, panel cutout size, and pointer scaling to ensure a like-for-like or compatible substitution — particularly important during planned maintenance or instrument overhaul.
Marine Applications
✓ Main switchboard current monitoring on merchant vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, and offshore support vessels where generator load visibility is operationally critical.
✓ Generator panel instrumentation on vessels operating multiple generator sets, where individual phase current readings are required for load-sharing and fault detection.
✓ Engine control room distribution boards where analog instrumentation is preferred or required as a backup to digital power management systems.
✓ Auxiliary switchboard panels on passenger vessels, RoRo ferries, and naval auxiliaries requiring continuous current display across multiple circuits.
✓ Retrofit and instrument replacement projects on older vessels undergoing panel refurbishment where DEIF instrumentation is already installed and like-for-like replacement is preferred.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF EQ96-X is valued for its straightforward, dependable analog readout in environments where robust and easily interpreted instrumentation matters. Its compatibility with standard 5A CT secondaries and the widely used 96mm panel format makes it a practical choice for maintenance teams managing instrument replacement with minimal panel modification.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, offshore platforms, tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, passenger ferries, and any commercial or industrial marine application requiring reliable panel-mount current measurement within a DEIF-instrumented power control system.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, installation guidance, onboard commissioning, and integration of this instrument into existing switchboard or power management configurations — subject to confirmation of the specific installation context. For retrofit or upgrade projects, compatibility with existing current transformers, panel cutout dimensions, and scaling requirements should be verified prior to installation. To confirm suitability, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, existing part numbers or order codes, panel arrangement drawings, CT ratio details, and where applicable, vessel name, IMO number, and the make and model of the associated switchboard or control system. All compatibility and fitment assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided.
