Optical Current Transducers for Power Systems: A Review

The technology of the optical measurement of current is reviewed. Several fundamentallydifferent approaches are described. Implementations from a number of manufacturers are examinedso as to highlight the similarities and the differences. Experience with optical current transducers isreported. The question of interfacing to an optical current transducer is discussed. The specialproblems posed by calibration of this kind of instrument are reviewed.
