Condition Monitoring of Rotating Machinery Part 2
The principles of eddy-current displacement sensors

In this article, I will explain the principles of an eddy-current displacement sensor. This is the most common sensor used as TSI (Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation). It is also the most frequently used sensor in applications requiring compliance with the API (American Petroleum Institute) 670 Standard. The eddy-current displacement sensor is described as “proximity probe” in API 670....
