Abstract
The continuous identification technology for position signals based on the capacitive method has a good application potential in the field of the control rods position measurement in nuclear reactors. The main source for error of the Capacitive Control Rod Position Indicators (CCRPIs) comes from the effect of eccentricity. The conformal mapping technique was used in this paper, and the geometry of the CCRPIs could be transformed. A model for revealing the mechanism of the effect of eccentricity was established, and it was tested and verified by the method of numerical calculation. The characteristics of the distribution of the sensitive field was clarified by the model. The results indicate that the maximum error of the model is smaller than 13 %, and the eccentric effect of the indicator can be described by the model.
