Abstract :
This paper describes the design of an optical fiber current transformer (OFCT) based on magneto-optic Faraday Effect. OFCT is designed using helium-neon laser (with wavelength of 632.8 nm and power of 1 mW) as light source, single mode fiber based sensing element and photomultiplier as detector. This OFCT is presently designed to cover current in the range of (20 A to 450 A). Preliminary experimental results for an OFCT are presented. The OFCT gave good results under various electrical current supply values, and responded in a linear behavior to an applied electric current. The OFCT achieves highly accuracy over a wide dynamic range of currents. The results obtained proved that the OFCT can be used in high voltage substations due to their superior accuracy, bandwidth, dynamic range and inherent isolation.
