Most older or surplus meters were calibrated for a steel panel. When
you use them on an aluminum panel, they read wrong....I *think* they
read low in a non-ferrous panel, but I can't swear to it (someone else
will know).
If that's the case you might be able to improve the accuracy by cutting
out a steel ring (O.D. maybe 1/2" or more than the I.D.) and putting it
around the meter in back of the aluminum panel.
Just a thought.
