An optical interferometer used to measure the current in a conductor, where the gap between the mirror and the quarter wave plate is minimized, and the gap is shielded magnetically. Additionally, at least the modulator is shielded, and preferably the case containing many of the components, such as the integral number of turns of optical fiber in a coil, is magnetically shielded. By shielding the components, and reducing the gap between the quarter wave plate and the mirror, the error in the current measurement is substantially reduced.

The object of the invention is to provide a method and a system for fixating a Faraday optical current sensor (12a,12b,12c) in a suitable measurement position for measuring the current in a 3-phase cable (14). The 3-phase cable (14) comprises 3 individual section-shaped phase conductors (16a,16b,16c) insulated in relation to one another and encapsulated inside an insulator (18). The method comprises the provision of a Faraday optical current sensor arrangement comprising 3 Faraday optical current sensors (12a,12b,12c), each Faraday optical current sensor being fixated in a specific position outside the section-shaped phase conductors (16a,16b,16c), and the provision of a processing unit for calculating a current value from a magnetic field value. The method is performed by measuring 3 magnetic field values by using each of the 3 Faraday optical current sensors (12a,12b,12c) and calculating the current in each of the section-shaped phase conductors (16a,16b,16c) by using the processing unit and the 3 magnetic field values.

摘要:
In order to measure an electrical voltage in an electro-optical voltage transformer, polarised light of two wavelengths is sent through a medium (1). The light is guided through a polariser (10) on the output side and the remaining signal is measured. In order to compensate for the temperature dependence of the electro-optical coefficients, the measurement results for the two wavelengths are compared and the voltage value consistent with the two measurements is used.
摘要:
A voltage sensor for measuring the voltage on high voltage lines is formed by an electrically isolating section of dielectric material that structures the electric field generated by a voltage difference between the two ends of the isolating section and provides screening of the electric field from other electric field sources external to the isolating section. At least one electric field sensor is provided to sense the electric field in the isolating section the output(s) of which are weighted and combined to provide an accurate measurement of the voltage between the two ends. The electric field sensors are located and their outputs are combined so that error in the voltage measurement due to the influence of external electric field sources is within an acceptable range.
