  • Publication number: 20250164658
    Abstract: A cable detection system has at least one cable, and at least one of a and an AOV. A first coil is coupled to the coupled to the at last one cable as is a second coil. The first and second coils are overlapped and configured so that a field in the second coil is zero unless there is a cable in a field of the first cable. The first and second coils overlap enough to obtain a null. An enhanced balanced induction cam be used. A strong signal cam be generated and a very weak signal field detected at a same frequency. An auxiliary winding on the second coil in which the nulling signal is created, tunes in both amplitude and phase in the absence of a target cable to secure a significantly better null, making the system more sensitive. the auxiliary winding is provided for application of a nulling signal, tuning in both amplitude and phase it in the absence of a target cable.
