  • Patent number: 5111135
    Abstract: A method for optically measuring an AC electric field or an AC voltage is disclosed. According to the method, a light beam emitted from a light-emitting portion is transmitted through a sensing head including a Pockel's-effect element while an AC electric field to be measured is applied to the Pockel's-effect element, so that the light beam is modulated by the applied AC electric field. The transmitted light beam is then received by a light-detecting portion, while in turn produces an electric signal corresponding to the received light beam. From the electric signal are selected a first component (E.omega.) having a same angular frequency as that of the AC electric field, and a second component (E.sub.2 .omega.) having an angular frequency which is two times that of the AC electric field. Then, a ratio (E.sub.2 .omega./E.omega.

  • Patent number: 5103164
    Abstract: An optical current transformer particularly useful for a fault location system for a power supply system and substation, including a casing which can be detachably secured to a plurality of wire conductors which conduct currents of the same phase. Within the casing a plurality of Rogowsky coils are arranged such that when the casing is secured to the wire conductors, each Rogowsky coil is wound around respective wire conductors. The Rogowsky coils are connected in series with an air-core coil and an optical current sensor having a Faraday element is arranged within a space of the coil such that the Faraday element is subjected to a magnetic flux generated by the coil. A magnitude of the magnetic flux is optically detected by the Faraday element to measure a total sum of currents conducting along the wire conductors.

  • Patent number: 5053617
    Abstract: An instrument including a light-emitter for emitting a light beam, a sensing head portion through which the light beam is transmitted, a light-detective element receiving the beam from the head portion, and a detector receiving an electric signal from the light-detective element. The head portion has a thermo-optical element for changing a first component of the light beam with an ambient temperature, and an optical element for changing a second component of the beam with an electric quantity. The electric signal produced by the light-detective element has a first and a second component which correspond to the first and second components of the light beam, respectively. The detector determines the ambient temperature based on the first component of the electric signal, and determines the electric quantity based on the second component of the electric signal. The electric quantity may be an AC magnetic field, a current, an AC electric field or a voltage.

  • Patent number: 4933629
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring the strength of an AC electric field or an equivalent voltage, or the strength of an AC magnetic field or an equivalent current, based on a light beam which is transmitted through and thus modulated by an optical sensing head due to the Pockel's and Faraday effects, while the sensing head is exposed to the AC electric and magnetic fields. The sensing head includes an optical material which exhibits the Pockel's effect and an optical material which exhibits the Faraday effect, or includes an optical material which exhibits both the Pockel's and Faraday effects. The modulated beam is applied to a light-sensitive element, which produces an electric output signal. A first and a second component of the electric output signal are retrieved by respective detectors. The first component has a same frequency as that of the electric or magnetic field, while said second component has a frequency which is two times that of said electric or magnetic field.
