In a vibrating reed type frequency meter, the reed which will vibrate the most is the one whose natural frequency is equal to Correct Answer twice the frequency of supply

Vibrating reed type frequency meter:

  • A vibrating-reed frequency meter is a measuring instrument that is used to measure the frequency of various electric circuits. 
  • Vibrating Reed Frequency meters indicate the supply frequency by means of individual reeds when rated voltage ± 20% is applied across the terminals of the meter.
  • It consists of 7 vibrating reeds and each vibrating reed has a specific value. 
  • These reeds vibrate when this frequency meter is connected to the supply for the measurement of frequency.
  • The reed which will vibrate the most is the one whose natural frequency is equal to twice the frequency of the supply.

​Features of vibrating reed meter:

  1. No aging effect
  2. Faster response
  3. Lighter in weight
  4. Low power consumption
  5. Rugged construction
  6. High reliability
