Designing Coil of Eddy Current Sensor - Get Tips & Solutions

Click For Summary
Designing the coil for an eddy current sensor requires understanding specific criteria to ensure effective measurement of voltage variations caused by non-magnetic targets. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on the operating conditions, as extreme conditions may yield different results. Participants emphasize the importance of precise design parameters for successful implementation. Suggestions for design improvements and criteria are welcomed, with an invitation for further communication via email. Effective design is crucial for accurate eddy current sensing in various conditions.

I have some problems designing the coil of an eddy current sensor.
I've been searching for some information in different pages and each of it has some criterion for the desing.
I would like to know if anyone knows which criterion must I follow to achieve a successful desing.

for any sugestion please email me at naibes@yahoo.es

where do you want to measure eddy currents?

I want to measure the voltage variations that occur because of the movement of a non-magnetic target near a pot-core coil.

where? Let's say on a extreme operating conditions
 
the answer is 0.
if you disagree please, give more details.
where? let's say on any kind of conditions
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
