1. Aim: To study working of Linear Variable Differential Transformer / Linear Variable

Displacement Transducer (LVDT) .

2. Apparatus:
Table 1: Apparatus required for working of LVDT
3. Steps for experiment:

1. Connect LVDT kit into mains and switch ON the supply as shown in Fig.2.

2. Connect ‘X’ channel of CRO to primary winding of LVDT and ‘Y’ channel of CRO
to

output of secondary winding in LVDT kit.

3. Adjust micrometer scale at “0” position in order to coincide with “0” of vernier scale.
4. If display of displacement is not showing “0” in LVDT, adjust scale error to have
reading equal to zero.

5. Scroll micrometer on either sides to have displacement of soft iron core on right side
and left side.

6. Note down the reading of amplitude of voltage by counting number of divisions and
multiply it with volt/div from CRO for a particular displacement.

7. Take five set of readings for displacement on right side and left side.

8. Record the readings in Table.

9. Plot graph of voltage amplitude vs. displacement and comment on the nature of
graph.

4. Calculations/Theorems /Formulas used etc

5. Observations/Discussions:

For positive displacement

Sr. No. Meter Scale Positive Voltage Amplitude

Reading Displacement
1 10V 1mm 17.45m V
2 10V 3mm 51.82mV
3 10V 5mm 89.62mV
For Negative displacement

Sr. No. Meter Scale Negative Voltage Amplitude

Reading Displacement
1 10V -1mm 17.45mV
2 10V -3mm 51.82mV
3 10V -5mm 89.62mV

6. Percentage error (if any or applicable):

NO

7. Result/Output/Writing Summary:

The difference in comparison of voltage amplitude values at positive and negative

displacement.
8. Graphs (If Any): Image /Soft copy of graph paper to be attached here
Learning outcomes (What I have learnt):

1. The amount of voltage change in either secondary winding is proportional to the

amount of movement of the core.

2. The output AC voltage inverts in phase as the core passes through the central null
position.
