ABB FOCS – FIBER OPTIC CURRENT SENSORS

Current required by fiber optic sensors

Current required by fiber optic sensors

The interference pattern relative to a reference waveform is an optical intensity value corresponding to the current magnitude. Utilizing a single-ended optical fiber wrapped around the current conductor, FOCS exploits the ( Interferometric fiber optic current sensors (FOCS) employ circularly polarized light traversing a closed loop path around an electrical conductor's current-generated magnetic flux, which reflects off a mirror. As FOCS are resistant to effects from magnetic or electrical field interferences, they are ideal for the measurement of electrical currents and high voltages in or other environme.

What is the light transmission principle of fiber optic sensors

What is the light transmission principle of fiber optic sensors

Fiber optic current sensors work by detecting changes in light as it interacts with a magnetic field created by an electrical current. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. The optical fiber consists of the core and the cladding, which have different refractive indexes. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").
