Thanks to this technique, it is possible to detect several types of failures, including stator and rotor inter-turn faults, broken rotor bars and mechanical faults, among others. The main advantages are that it involves a non-invasive technique and low-cost monitoring equipment. The standard practice is to use coreless flux sensors, with which the stray flux of the machine is not perturbed and there are no problems due to saturation or nonlinear behavior of the iron. However, the induced voltage in the coreless coil sensor may be very low and even, in some cases, have a similar amplitude to the noise floor. This paper studies the use of iron core stray flux sensors for condition monitoring of electrical machines. The main advantage of iron core flux sensors is that the measured electromotive force is stronger. In the case of large machines in noisy environments, this can be crucial. Two different types of iron core stray flux sensors and a coreless flux sensor are tested. A comparison of the three sensors is presented. Extensive experimental testing with all sensors shows the superiority and greater sensitivity of sensors with core versus the coreless ones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20030749","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]],"date-time":"2020-01-29T10:51:07Z","timestamp":1580295067000},"page":"749","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Stray Flux Sensor Core Impact on the Condition Monitoring of Electrical Machines"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Pengfei","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automatic Control, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Informatics, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7007-2566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Platero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automatic Control, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Informatics, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9730-4267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos N.","family":"Gyftakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9YL, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose Manuel","family":"Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automatic Control, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Informatics, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Capolino, G., Romary, R., H\u00e9nao, H., and Pusca, R.
