Magnetic flux detector with resistance of its potential setup resistor set larger than that of its search coil

摘要

A magnetic flux detector comprises a core member 12 and an armature member 11, and the core member 12 generates a magnetic flux by an exciting coil 13 when the exciting coil receives an excitation current controlled by an excitation current controller 30. The magnetic flux detector further comprises a search coil 14, which is provided in a magnetic path for the magnetic flux, and a magnetic flux calculator 40, which determines the magnitude of the magnetic flux by measuring an electromotive force induced in the search coil 14 by a change in the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux calculator 40 has a potential setup resistor 43, whose resistance B is sufficiently larger than the internal resistance A of the search coil 14 (approximately A=B/3~B/30).
