Abstract

The waveforms of high voltage and current pulse were measured using laser measuring systems. Existing potential transformer and current transformer have low measuring precision because of resonance phenomena and waveform distortion due to the magnetic saturation. But using laser measurement, it is possible to obtain clear waveforms which have no effect of distortion and harmonic resonances. And electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the measuring of high voltage and current pulse, but the optical measuring systems are not subjet to the influence of EMI. Using laser measuring systems based upon Pockels effect and Faraday effect is not free from any errors yet, but it could replace existing measuring systems by routine experiments and error corrections. And it needs that more research and development of optical crystals and equipments would be taken.
