INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
An accurate electric current transformer is a key component of any power system instrumentation.
The MOCT measures the electric current by means of Faraday Effect.
Conventional current transformers becomes more and more bulky and costly.

CT Purpose and Demerits CT Purpose and Demerits
PURPOSE OF CT: It feeds the current coils of indicating, metering
instruments and protective relays Watch over the current’s in the circuit
DEMERITS OF CT: The insulation structure has to be designed carefully to
avoid electrical field stress, which could eventually cause insulation breakdown.
Less reliability
MOCT MOCT
MOCT measures the electric
current by means of
FARADAYS EFFECT. Michael faraday discovered
that the orientation of linearly
polarized light was rotated
under the influence of the
magnetic field.
PRINCIPLEPRINCIPLE
“ The light propagated in a piece of glass and the rotation angle was proportional to the intensity of the magnetic field”.

DESIGN DESIGN
1. The optical sensor consists of two separate clamp-on parts.
2. Linearly polarized light is arranged to pass through the optical glass prism to pickup the Faraday rotation signal.
3. The polarization compensation technique is applied at each corner of the prisms
WORKING WORKING
MAGNETO-OPTICAL MAGNETO-OPTICAL SENSORSENSORMAGNETO-OPTICAL MAGNETO-OPTICAL SENSORSENSOR
Almost all transparent material exhibits the magneto-optical effect or Faraday Effect, but the effect of some of the material is very temperature dependent, and they are not suitable for the sensing material.
MOCT made out of SF-57 materials can achieve higher sensitivity.

APPLICATIONAPPLICATION
The MOCT is designed to operate in a transparent manner with modern electronic meters and digital relays, which have been adopted for a low energy analog signal interface.
The design approach is to redefine the interface point as to input the analog to digital conversion function used by each of these measurement systems.
Pros and Cons Pros and Cons
PROS: No risk of fires and explosions. No need to use metallic wires to transfer the signal and
so simpler insulation structure than conventional current transformer.
High immunity to electromagnetic interference.
CONS: Temperature and stress induced linear birefringence
in the sensing material causes error and instability.
CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
This magneto optical current transformer eliminates many of the drawbacks of the conventional current transformers.
In an conventional current transformers, there is a chance of saturation of magnetic field under high current, complicated insulation and cooling structure, a chance of electro magnetic interference .
