Flux detection circuit and method therein for sensing magnetic flux via a magnetic flux probe

Abstract

Presented herein are a flux detection circuit for sensing magnetic flux via a magnetic flux probe and method therein. A magnetic flux probe comprising circuit elements and forming a loop around a magnetic core avails interconnection of a flux-sensitive trace across a winding window. The flux detection circuit is configured to measure an electromotive force (emf) of one or more elements of the loop; and at least one of the circuit elements may be adjustable (e.g., may comprise a variable resistance). In this manner the magnetic flux probe and flux detection circuit may be calibrated to accurately detect a signal proportional to the time-varying magnetic flux and to provide the signal across a winding window.
