ABSTRACT:
An accurate current transducer is a key component of any power system
employ inductive type current transformers. With short circuit capabilities of power
system getting larger and the voltage level going higher the conventional current
transducers becomes more bulky and costly. It appears that newly emerged MOCT
technology provides a solution for many of the problems by the conventional current
transformers. MOCT measures the rotation angle of the plane polarized lights caused
by the magnetic field and convert it into a signal of few volts proportional to the
conductor to enclose the optical path in the current carrying circuit and there is no
electromagnetic interference.
KEYWORDS:
Faraday effect.
