G2-06: FRAHM'S FREQUENCY METER

PURPOSE: To check the 60 Hz line voltage frequency.

DESCRIPTION: A set of reeds, all the same length, are weighted to resonate near 60 Hz. The reeds are driven by an electromagnet. Just plug the meter leads into the end of a power cord to check the line frequency. Use an oscillator for driving the meter at frequencies other than 60 Hz.

SUGGESTIONS:

EQUIPMENT: Frahm's frequency meter, as photographed.

SETUP TIME: None.
