Abstract :
An optical based current measurement device based on the Faraday effect is described. The current sensor is assessed with respect to British Standard BS3938 Specification for Current Transformers and classified accordingly. The performance of the sensor is also discussed with respect to harmonic content and vibration and temperature effects
