Abstract :
The authors describe how an optical crystal based current sensor has been successfully demonstrated and classified to the 5P10 protection C.T standard of BS 3938. Problems concerning vibration and temperature effects have been addressed. Magneto-optic crystal based devices are assessed and their performance compared
