THEORETICAL CONCEPTS
In O.C.T, optical sensors are used to measure electrical currents.

These are called magneto-optic transducers which replaces the secondary in C.C.T

OCT’s give better performance than C.C.Ts due to better safety, lesser size and absence of core loss, saturation, insulation failure.
TYPES OF OPTICAL SENSING METHODS
Faraday effect

Interferometric principles

Bragg gratings

Micromechanical sensors

WHAT IS FARADAY EFFECT ?
Michael Faraday discovered this phenomenon in 1845

The Faraday effect is a magneto-optical effect that causes a change in the state of polarisation of light

When a beam of polarised light is sent through a Faraday material, the polarized light is rotated by the angle θ, in proportion to strength of the magnetic field parallel to the light.

PRINCIPLE OF THE FARADAY EFFECT
FARADAY MATERIALS
Diamagnetic (e.g. SF-57, SiO2, BK-7) and paramagnetic (e.g. TGG (Terbium gallium garnet), FR-5). They have relatively low rotations

Ferrimagnetic and ferromagnetic materials give higher rotations . Widely-used ferrimagnetic materials are RIGs (Rare Earth Iron Garnets) & YIG (Yttrium Iron Garnet)

POLARISATION
It refers to time varying behavior of electric intensity (E) of light

Oscillation of E in a single plane- Linear Polarisation

Locus of rotation of E is a circle - Circular Polarisation

Locus of movement of E is an ellipse- Elliptical Polarisation

a) Linear b) circular c) elliptic polarization
MATHEMATICAL REPRESENTATION OF FARADAY EFFECT

Mathematically , Faraday effect is
θ = ∫ k H dl where
θ is the angle of rotation of polarized light
H is the Intensity of magnetization
l is the length of the light path
k is a constant dependent on the propagating material

EFFECT OF LIGHTNING
MERITS OF O.C.T v/s C.C.T
High accuracy
Reduced size and weight
No insulation failure
High bandwidth (0.5 Hz to 6 kHz)
Low maintenance
No effect of saturation
Immune to E.M.I
explosion free (avoids oil or SF6)

LEADING MANUFACTURES OF O.C.T
CONCLUSION
Fibre-optic based current and voltage sensors are an increasingly being used in developed countries

In the long term OCTs will be potentially cheaper
due to innovation in optical, electronics and power engineering fields
When total costs equipment, maintenance, replacement upon failure etc are considered
