Abstract
A magnetic flux detector comprises a core member and an armature member , and the core member generates a magnetic flux by an exciting coil when the exciting coil receives an excitation current controlled by an excitation current controller . The magnetic flux detector further comprises a search coil , which is provided in a magnetic path for the magnetic flux, and a magnetic flux calculator , which determines the magnitude of the magnetic flux by measuring an electromotive force induced in the search coil by a change in the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux calculator has a potential setup resistor , whose resistance B is sufficiently larger than the internal resistance A of the search coil (approximately A=B/3˜B/30).
