Magneto Optic Current Transformer Technology

Magneto Optic Current Transformer (MOCT) technology provides a solution to problems with conventional current transformers by using the Faraday effect to measure the rotation angle of polarized light caused by a magnetic field, allowing current measurement without breaking the conductor or interference, making it useful for high voltage power systems where conventional transformers are too large and expensive.

Magneto Optic Current Transformer Technology (MOCT)

ABSTRACT:
An accurate current transducer is a key component of any power system

instrumentation. To measure currents, power stations and substations conventionally

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

magnetic field.Main advantage of an MOCT is that there is no need to break the

conductor to enclose the optical path in the current carrying circuit and there is no

electromagnetic interference.
