Linear Variable Differential Transformer Principle of Working The LVDT works under the principle of mutual inductance effect. It is also an electromechanical-based inductive transducer that converts rectilinear movement into an electrical signal.
Construction LVDT consists of one primary winding P, two secondary windings(S1& S2) and a soft iron core. The construction of LVDT is shown in below figure. The secondary windings are arranged on a cylindrical former with a movable soft iron core. The primary winding is surrounded by two identical secondary windings (S 1 and S 2 ), each of which has an equal number of turns. The secondary windings are connected in a series opposition.
The soft iron core arm is connected to the part to which the displacement is to be measured. This iron cores are subjected to hydrogen annealing in order to reduce harmonics, the residual voltage of the core, and to increase sensitivity.
Working A source of constant amplitude AC power, energize the primary winding, P, of the LVDT. The core then connects the nearby secondary windings S 1 and S 2 , the magnetic flux is created. According to the position of the core, the working of LVDT can be divided into 3 cases.
Case 1:- LVDT Core is in null Position: When the core of LVDT is in null position, the flux linking between both the secondary coils are same, hence voltage induced in secondary side is also equal. Hence net output voltage is V0= V1-V2=0 Case 2:-LVDT Core is moved left of null position. When the core of LVDT core is moved to left, then more flux links with coil S1 than S2. Hence voltage induced in S1 is greater than S2. The net output voltage is V0=V1-V2 is positive. Case 3:- LVDT Core is moved Right of null position. When the core of LVDT core is moved to right, then more flux links with coil S2 than S1. Hence voltage induced in S2 is greater than S1. The net output voltage is V0=V1-V2 i s negative.
