The SDO OCT Optical Current Transformer is a highly accurate current measurement transformer for high voltage systems, based on a fully passive optical transducer (The SDO ICT). The SDO OCT provides a digital measurement solution for metering and protection applications in the next generation of high voltage digital substations.

ARTECHE SDO OCT uses the most advanced fiber sensing technology based on a patented technique (NIMI) that allows construction of passive interferometric transducers.

The SDO MU is an integral part of the optical instrument transformer. It performs all the necessary signal processing and analogue to digital conversion. It samples the measured values according to frequencies specified in IEC 61850-9-2LE and IEC 61869 standards.

Then it synchronizes and merges the current and voltage channels before encoding the output signal to the digital format of Sampled Values (SV) and streams it via redundant Ethernet ports to the Process Bus network.
