AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is an antique electromagnetic ammeter, manufactured by Sigogne & Cie, Paris, probably between the 1920s and 1940s.
What was it used for?
This device was used to measure electrical current in amperes (A). It is graduated from 0 to 1 ampere, which indicates it was intended for low-current circuits.
The electromagnetic principle uses a magnetic field created by the current to move the needle and display the measured value.
Where was it installed?
This type of ammeter was generally mounted on the front of an electrical panel or control desk in places such as:
factories and industrial workshops;
electric power stations or distribution substations;
SNCF stations and signaling posts;
laboratories or technical schools;
control panels of machines (motors, generators, pumps, etc.).
The circular case with the mounting holes shows that it was recessed into a panel, with only the front face visible.
Today, it is a beautiful industrial decor piece or collectible, appreciated for its large enameled dial and Art Deco aesthetic.
