Operation principle of inductive non-contact switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Kia Soul. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use the high frequency magnetic field and the induced current that are generated by oscillation (to approved voltage) of coil in switch.
- The eddy current is generated on surface of metal by self inductance effect if there is metal in high frequency magnetic field.
- The eddy current that is generated attenuates the high frequency magnetic field as much as amount of generated by disturbing the switch's magnetic flux.
- ON-OFF by judging whether high voltage magnetic field is attenuates or not(calculate the voltage difference by length between metal and coil)
