Winding Modification and Analysis of LVDT
Abstract: The LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) typically uses step-winding mode because it has an advantage such as simple construction and fewer layers of winding. The LVDT converts a location or linear movement from a reference standard (zero or null point) impulse with direction and distance information into a proportionate electrical field using the phase and amplitude components. To produce the output in full stroke, the core’s length must be more …
