Home / Sensing Mechanism of Fiber Optic Current Transformer
The FOCT is based on the Faraday magneto-optical effect, and the magnitude of the current is determined by measuring the angle at which the polarization plane rotates due to the action of the magnetic field generated by the current when passing through the magneto-optical material. This paper presents an in-depth study on vibration resistance improvement and fault identification technology for fiber-optic current transformers (FOCTs). Conventional testing methods often fall short in providing high-precision, spatially resolved diagnosis of FOCT internal fiber links. When the polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) delay coil of a fiber optic current transformer (FOCT) is impacted, external forces on the optical fibers and change of their birefringence may lead to extra phase errors during the propagation of optical signals in the fibers.
FOCS/OCTs offer significant advantages over traditional current sensing technologies; the sensor element is naturally decoupled from the voltage line, there is minimal electrical interference on the
Besides the influence of birefringence, the measured current, the bending radius of the optical fiber and the refractive index of the fiber core on the measurement results was also analyzed.
