Designing Coil of Eddy Current Sensor - Get Tips & Solutions

AI Thread 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
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
