Simpson Electric 372-3 Analog Ohmmeter

The Simpson 372-3 is Simpson Electric’s dedicated analog ohmmeter, spanning 0.02 ohm at the low end to 50 megohm at the high end across six selectable range multipliers – a wider resistance envelope than the resistance function on a general-purpose VOM, and with the range-per-range scale resolution that separates a dedicated ohmmeter from a multimeter’s resistance mode. The 372-3 is the meter to specify when the measurement is resistance and nothing else – motor windings, transformer coils, submersible pump insulation, and ground-continuity checks where the reading needs to read crisp against a single-purpose scale rather than share the needle with a multi-function VOM.

The instrument runs on a single 1.5 V C-cell for the lower five ranges and adds an 18 V battery assembly for the top Rx 100K range, and ships with alligator-clip leads for hands-free field measurement while both hands work on the device under test. The 372-3 shows up regularly on incoming-inspection benches for submersible-pump manufacturers and on repair-shop test stations where the operator is checking dozens of similar resistances per shift and prefers a single-function meter over a mode-select multimeter dial.
