VM 3.1
Air Gap Capacitive Sensor
Applications
• On-line air gap measurements for:
- generators
- synchronous condensers
- large electric motors
• On-line proximity measurements
• Specified for gaps from 7 to 14 mm (275 to 550 mils)
Description
Features
The VM 3.1 1Capacitive Sensor is a flat, noncontact type
sensor which generates the necessary electric field to • Range: 2 to 20 mm (78.7 to 787.4 mils)
measure the distance between its surface and a target. 5 to 35 mm (196.8 to 1377.9 mils)
The raw signal from the sensor is sent through a triaxial • Used with LINTM Series-300 Linearization Module
extension cable to the LINTM series-300 Linearization and ZOOM® Processing Unit (ZPUTM) or PCUTM
Module to be conditioned and transmitted to a ZOOM® Programmable Monitor
Processing Unit (ZPUTM) or a PCUTM Programmable
Monitor. • Highly immune to deposits of oil, carbon dust, and
strong magnetic fields
Slim design and high immunity make the VM 3.1 a
universal proximity sensor. Its measuring range, accuracy, • Easy to install on stator wall without removing the
and reliability is unaffected by: deposits of oil, carbon dust rotor or poles
and dirt, strong magnetic fields, high shock vibration, • Non-contact, non-intrusive sensor
and EMI-RFI.
• Over 25 years of field experience
The VM 3.1 is a passive sensor, with no moving parts or
active electronic elements and is compatible with most
types of conductive and semi-conductive target material.
