Abstract
A probe support carriage for use during probing an electrical device includes a body, means for supporting and positioning the body, a plurality of flux sensors and a position sensor. The body has a first end and a second end. The plurality of flux sensors are operatively connected to the body. Each flux sensor includes a probe having a core and a coil. The core includes a material having high initial permeability and high resistivity characteristics. The probe is adapted to being supported so that a sensing portion of the core is maintained in a contact-free spaced relationship between a predetermined surface of the electrical device and the sensing portion of the core. The position sensor is adapted to determine position along a longitudinal axis of the electrical device.
