3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAP 63 is a point level sensor with fully insulated capacitive
electrode for level detection.
VEGACAP 63 is very rugged and maintenance-free and can be used
in all areas of industrial process technology.
Fully insulated probes such as VEGACAP 63 are preferably used in
conductive liquids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection.
The capacitive measuring principle places no special requirements
on installation. Hence, many different applications can be equipped
with VEGACAP 63.
The instrument can also be used problem-free in corrosive products.
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.
