279691 - Miller DC Ammeter 0-400A 50mV 2.5-Inch

Precise Output Monitoring for Industrial Welding Equipment

The Miller 279691 is a high-quality DC Ammeter designed specifically for Miller welding power sources. As a critical component for monitoring machine output, this analog panel meter provides a clear and immediate visual indication of the welding current (amperage) being delivered to the arc. It features a calibrated scale ranging from 0 to 400 Amps DC, making it suitable for a wide variety of medium-to-heavy-duty industrial welding applications. The meter is engineered to operate with a standard 50mV shunt signal, ensuring compatibility with the internal circuitry of many Miller power sources.

Maintenance and repair professionals understand that accurate instrumentation is vital for quality control in welding operations. When a panel meter fails or becomes unreadable due to shop damage or age, it compromises the operator's ability to verify settings. The Miller 279691 serves as a direct OEM replacement, guaranteeing that the electrical characteristics match the original specifications of the machine. The unit features a 2.5-inch diameter face, a standard size for equipment instrumentation, allowing for seamless integration into the control panel without modification.

Visually, the meter is designed for the industrial environment. It sports a black face with high-contrast white numerals and graduation marks, which reduces glare and improves readability under varying lighting conditions found in fabrication shops and manufacturing plants. The needle movement is damped to provide steady readings even during the dynamic load changes characteristic of welding arcs. By choosing this genuine Miller component, facility managers and technicians ensure the continued reliability and safety of their welding fleet.

Installation is straightforward for qualified technicians, utilizing standard mounting hardware and electrical connections. Whether refurbishing an older power source or repairing a damaged unit, the Miller 279691 restores the functional interface of the machine, allowing welders to adhere strictly to Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) by verifying their amperage output in real-time.
