Abstract:
A method for measuring the current circulating through at least one conductor with the use of optical fiber-based measuring equipment is provided. According to one implementation the measuring equipment includes a first emitter that emits a first signal which reaches a sensing branch through a first branch, runs through the sensing branch, and is modified depending on the current circulating through the conductor. A modified first signal is received by a second receiver from a second branch. A second emitter emits a second signal which reaches the sensing branch through the second branch, runs through the sensing branch, and is modified depending on the current circulating through the conductor. A modified second signal is received by a first receiver from the first branch. The current circulating through the conductor is determined by combining the modified first signal and the modified second signal.
