    Abstract: A fast-response direct-current current transformer based on multi-sensor fusion is provided and includes: a magnetic modulator, a current correction module, an excitation transformer, an alternating current detection and filtering circuit, a phase-sensitive demodulation and filtering system, a PI controller, and a power amplifier. The current correction module measures a primary current and obtain a feed-forward signal, outputs a false balance state configured to control a magnetic core to quickly exit or avoid entering magnetic saturation after amplifying the feed-forward signal and a PI control signal, and keeps output of the magnetic modulator stable. The magnetic modulator and Hall current sensors are fused in the disclosure, such that the possibility of failure due to a false balance problem caused by saturation of a magnetic core is reduced. After the false balance is generated, the magnetic core may be controlled to quickly exit a magnetic saturation state through a feed-forward output current.

Each of the Fabry-Perot interferometers includes a first optical fiber fusion spliced to a second optical fiber such that a relatively large cavity is formed between the fibers. The relatively large cavity forms the measurement chamber for each Fabry-Perot interferometer. The input port on each of the Fabry-Perot interferometers is coupled to an optical splitter such that a single optical signal input is provided to each Fabry-Perot interferometer. The output port on each of the Fabry-Perot interferometers is coupled to an optical combiner that combines the interference signal received from each of the Fabry-Perot interferometers.
