Solution Approach 1:

The measuring coil acts as a mediator that isolates the detection circuitry from the high-voltage magnetizing pulse environment. This allows standard low-voltage electronic components to be used in the detection circuit, making the system easier to manufacture and integrate into production lines without requiring specialized high-voltage components

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses rectification to convert the alternating current magnetizing pulse into a unidirectional pulse, followed by capacitive filtering to extend the pulse duration. This transforms the original short-duration high-frequency pulse into a longer-duration signal that maintains the essential information while becoming detectable by standard electronic circuits

Inventive Principle:
