Design and Development of a Low-Cost Optical Current Sensor
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Power Electronics
Abstract
In this paper we display the layout of a low-fee optical present day sensor. The sensor precept is the Faraday rotation of a mild beam thru a magneto-optical material, SF2, while a magnetic discipline is present. The prototype has a excessive sensitivity and a excessive linearity for currents starting from zero as much as 800 A. The blunders of the optical fibre sensor is smaller than 1% for electric powered currents over 175 A.
Keywords
