6 FAQs about [Microgrid and Eddy Current Sensors]
Can eddy current sensors be used in a low-field magnetic field?
The use of low-field, solid-state magnetic sensors represents a significant advance over more traditional inductive probes in use today. Two key attributes will open opportunities for increased use of eddy current probes: constant sensitivity over a wide range of frequencies and development of smaller sensors.
How to design a small size eddy current displacement sensor?
A systematic method is employed for the design and analysis of a small size eddy current (EC) displacement sensor. Simulations are first performed to determine the optimal winding structure and dimensions of the sensor. A linear-fitting approach is then developed for converting the AC displacement signal of the sensor to a DC signal.
What is an eddy current probe?
An eddy current probe consists of an excitation coil and a sensor. The size of the coil is a function of the size of the defect being analyzed. When measuring the sensing axis, you must keep the GMR or SDT probe coplanar with the surface of the specimen.
What are the components of an eddy current probe for nondestructive testing?
The main components of an eddy current probe for nondestructive testing are a pancake-type coil and a Wheatstone bridge of GMR or SDT sensors (see Figure 1). Figure 1. An eddy current probe consists of an excitation coil and a sensor. The size of the coil is a function of the size of the defect being analyzed.
How do eddy current sensors work?
Eddy current sensors exploit the fact that the flow of an AC current through a conducting coil generates an alternating magnetic field, which in turn induces a current flow in a nearby metallic conductor. However, when the ambient temperature rises, the resistance of the coil increases and hence the induced current flow decreases.
Do Eddy current sensors have different application fields?
Eddy current sensors have different application fields depending on the design frequency of the eddy current. For a low frequency, the skin depth increases in accordance with Equation (1) and leads to a wide distribution of the eddy current in the conductor.
