Eddy Current Inspection System<br />

An eddy current inspection system consists of the following<br />

components:<br />

Oscillator<br />

Coil assembly (Probe)<br />

Bridge circuit<br />

Signal processing unit<br />

Readout or a display unit.<br />

The oscillator provides an alternating current of one or more<br />

frequencies to the coil. Frequencies used <strong>for</strong> eddy current<br />

inspection range from 50 Hz to 6 MHz<br />

The coil assembly induces an eddy current into the part being<br />

inspected and detects changes in the eddy current flow.
