Induction loops
The induction loops are available as ready assembled cables in
various lengths from several manufacturers. Make sure that they
meet the specification described in these operating instructions.
Alternatively a loop can be manufactured from single wire. The
following requirements must be fulfilled:
Wire cross section: 18 to 16 AWG (0.75 to 1.5 mm
2
)
Inductivity of the loop: 70 to 500
H. This is equivalent to a loop
with 3 to 6 windings.
When using hot pouring compounds, such as bitumen
temperature resistant loop cables/strands must be used.
8.4.3
Testing induction loops
To verify the contact resistance, insulation resistance, and
inductance of the loop these properties must be measured after
installation:
Contact resistance: 0.8 to 2.0 ohms
Insulation resistance to earth: > 1 Mohm.
Inductivity of the loop: 70 to 500
μ
H
If the values are not within the specified ranges, the loop is
defective.
8.4.4
Installing induction loops in bitumen, asphalt, or concrete
1. Cut a 1.97 in (50 mm) deep groove into the surface or asphalt
using a cutting disc. The groove must be equally deep at
every point. According to Fig. 14 the corners of the groove
must be cut in a 45° angle.
