Why Choose the EMAS RDH1A Digital Frequency Meter?
The EMAS RDH1A is a compact digital frequency meter and monitoring relay designed for measuring AC supply frequency in industrial electrical panels, machinery and power distribution systems. Part of the EMAS RD series, it combines clear digital frequency indication with an integrated changeover relay output for monitoring, alarm and control applications.
The RDH1A measures AC voltage and frequency across a range of 100 to 250 V AC and 30 to 70 Hz. Its three-digit seven-segment display provides a clear indication of the measured frequency, helping engineers identify abnormal supply conditions that could affect motors, generators and sensitive electrical equipment.
Operating from a nominal 230 V AC, 50 Hz supply, the device includes a 1CO changeover relay output with a resistive contact current rating of 5 A. Its compact eight-pin format, fast and quiet switching, long operating life and finger-safe design make it well suited to industrial control-panel applications.
Key Advantages
Digital AC frequency measurement from 30 to 70 Hz.
Measures supply voltages between 100 and 250 V AC.
Clear three-digit seven-segment display.
Integrated 1CO changeover relay output.
Fast and quiet switching for industrial control systems.
Reliable Frequency Monitoring for Electrical Systems
Electrical frequency meters monitor the frequency of an AC supply and help operators identify conditions that fall outside the required operating range. Excessively high or low frequency can affect motor speed, generator performance, timing systems and other frequency-sensitive electrical equipment.
The EMAS RDH1A provides continuous digital indication across its 30 to 70 Hz range. Its integrated relay output can be connected to an alarm, contactor or control circuit, allowing the meter to form part of a wider electrical monitoring and protection system.
Typical Applications
Industrial electrical control panels.
Generator frequency monitoring systems.
Low-voltage power distribution boards.
Motor and machinery supply monitoring.
Automation and process control equipment.
Frequency alarm and supervision circuits.
