A displacement transducer for a valve in a housing includes a cylindrical displacement transducer core, a coil, a coil housing, and a compensation element. The coil is positioned in the coil housing, and radially encloses the core. The coil housing has a first side supported by the housing, and a supporting face positioned between the first side and an axial end side of the coil housing facing away from the valve such that a length change of the coil is not limited in an axial direction facing away from the valve. The housing is axially supported on the compensation element via the supporting face. A side of the compensation element facing away from the valve is supported on one or more of (i) an adjustable cover, (ii) a standard component of a supporting chain of the core, and (iii) a component formed from a material with a suitable coefficient of thermal expansion.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system can include a primary coil wound around a moveable magnetic core, at least one secondary coil wound in one continuous direction and magnetically coupled with the primary coil, and a controller operatively connected to determine a position of the moveable magnetic core and configured to detect a fault across the secondary coil.

Embodiments generally relate to linear variable displacement transformer (LVDT) position sensors. The position sensor comprises a bobbin, a moveable core, a primary coil of wire wound around the bobbin, and two secondary coils of wire wound around the bobbin about the primary coil using a fractional winding technique. For example, the winding length of the bobbin may be separated into three consecutive parts. Generally, the primary coil may be wound around the entire winding length of the bobbin. The first secondary coil may be wound around the first and second parts of the winding length. The second secondary coil may be wound around the second and third parts of the winding length. Additionally, the first secondary coil and the second secondary coil may overlap over the second part of the winding length.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to resonant transformers (or reactors) and coil arrangements associated with resonant transformers. The coil arrangements can include a grounding coil configured to generate a net-zero induced voltage between a first end of the grounding coil and a second end of the grounding coil layer, and one or more step-up coil layers formed by one or more layers of pressure tape, insulating materials, and wire wrapped to form coils about a portions of a split magnetic core. The split magnetic core can include a first core segment and a second core segment, where one of the core segments is disposed within a main housing and one of the core segments is disposed external to the main housing. A gap between the first and second core segments can be manipulated to control an inductance of the resonant transformer.
