Consider the following statements about the LVDT.

1. It has no sliding contact   2. Its output is zero at the null   3. It works from a direct voltage supply

  • A.1 and 3 only are correct
  • B.1 and 2 only are correct
  • C.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about the device as ordinarily used
  • D.2 and 3 only are correct

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only are correct

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: the core does not touch the windings, so there is nothing to wear and the life is effectively unlimited, and at the null position the two secondaries cancel exactly. Statement 3 is wrong - the primary must be excited with alternating voltage, typically a few kilohertz, since a transformer cannot couple a steady current at all.
