An LVDT is much like any other transformer in that it consists of a primary coil, secondary coils, and a magnetic core. An alternating current, known as the carrier signal, is produced in the primary coil. The changing current in the primary coil produces a varying magnetic field around the core. This magnetic field induces an alternating (AC) voltage in the secondary coils that are in proximity to the core. As with any transformer, the voltage of the induced signal in the secondary coil is linearly related to the number of coils. The basic transformer relation is: (1)
