The measured current data is in the form of analog optical modulated signals and its
transmitter form HV unit to ground by optical fiber. optical transmitter is coupled to a
fiber optic transmission line and goes to HV unit. At the HV unit the emitted light of
transmitter is collimated to a polarize which is made of calcite, then the polarized light is
passed through the sensor. New sensor used in this system is constructed of four
separated prisms together in a circular shape that forces the passing light by consecutive
refiactions going around the electrical current conductor. This path of light is always
parallel with or orthogonal to the direction of current conductor.
The polarization plane of output light of sensor wiJl be rotated proportional to the
variations of magnetic field and of course variations of electrical current. The Faraday
rotation angle equation is:
p = V.H.L.

With using a two channel receiver circuit the common mode noises are rejected by
differencing the two detected signals at the processor unit.. Data and electrical signal is
available at output of processing unit to display the current amplitude or be used for
protection systems. Tests and experimental results show that linearity and precision of
this system is comparable to ordinary type of current transformers. Also it is possible to
measure DC currents of HVDC power line.
