spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/5087 Development and prototyping of a Point Coupled Linear Transformer (PCLT) displacement sensor Walton, Michael Tapson, Jonathan Electrical Engineering Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-80). The main aims of this project were to develop and prototype a Point Coupled Linear Transformer (PCLT) displacement sensor, and to perform a general exploration of the PCLT technology. The PCLT is a recent invention that has planar PCB windings and a non-contacting movable core, and relies on variable induction to detect displacement. Different core materials and shapes are investigated. The transformer windings layout is optimized for symmetrical response and high primary to secondary voltage coupling. 2014-07-31T10:51:27Z 2014-07-31T10:51:27Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5087 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
