You have to be careful, and be sure you are not measuring voltage or current. A transducer is a tuned circuit, which when it comes into resonance (around the frequency of 60Hz), outputs a small current that can be used to indicate the actual frequency of the AC. If you are just using a...

If you closely examine both the transducer and the meter, you will find that the output of the transducer is DC, as is the input of the meter. The meter is measuring the amount of current put out by the transducer and translating that into frequency, on the scale of the meter, from 0 to 200uA...

Wow! All the meters I have seen on 002's and 003's (admittedly just a dozen or so) have all been 200ua full scale meters. The meters have all shown 60Hz to be half scale. That tells me that the transducer is outputting 100ua, when the input is 60Hz. My trusty Simpson 260 (I know I am old...

As an alternative, you could look around for a reed resonant meter, and eliminate the transducer. These were quite popular on the older generators, and quite frankly, IMHO more reliable. I have purchased 3 of them from that online auction house in the past few months. Jim
