This study is about the design and fabrication of optical voltage sensor modules improved in the insulation reliability, where we adopted the space-division voltage system using the auxiliary electrodes to apply the uniform electric fields to the BSO, the device of which the polarization state varies with the variation of refractive index in the electric fields. We measured the output of fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors with the temperature changes in the thermostatic oven. And we measured the output of Fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors after setting its up in the disttibuion automated switch being apply 60Hz alternating voltage from 6.6kV to 17.BkV. In result, measured error characteristic is good, so we can judge it is applicable to the practical case

Optical current sensor and optical voltage sensor modules were designed and fabricated to improve measurement error and insulation in automatic power distributor By using Faraday effect, optical current sensor with an $\alpha$-iron core was designed and fabricated to minimize current induction of the other phase and was optimized to maintain linearity. Optical voltage sensor was fabricated owing to the pockets effect and adopted spatial electric field type because of small room in an automatic power distributor. To connect a distributor with an external terminal for signal processing, optical multi connector was designed, fabricated and tested for coupling loss and gas leakage. The linearity of optical current sensor for applied current maintains variation of smaller than 2.5% for applied current range from 20A to 700A. The linearity of optical voltage sensor was smaller than 1% for appling voltage from 6.6kV to 19.8kV. Since the measured characteristics are good, these devices can be considered as being applicable in practice.

In this paper an optical voltage sensor and an optical current sensor which can be used for the measurement of impulse voltage and current are implemented. BSO single crystal is utilized as a voltage sensor(Pockels effect cell). An rare earth doped YIG is used as a current sensor(Faraday effect cell). A new signal processing technique is adopted not only to avoid the influences o external optical fiber pertubations of transmitting optical fiber but also to improves the frequency response characteristics of the fiber-optic voltage and current sensors. Experimental results show that optical voltage sensor has maximum 2.5% error within the voltage range from 0V to 500V. and optical current sensor has maximum 2.5% error within the current range and that of optical current sensor is about 1.5% within temperature range from -2$0^{\circ}C$ to 6$0^{\circ}C$. The proposed optical sensors have good frequency response characteristics within the frequency range from DC to 10MHz.

본 연구에서는 패러데이 효과(Faraday Effect)를 이용한 초고압 전력설비에서의 광전류 센서의 특성에 대한 기초 연구를 하였다. 광원은 Laser Diode(1310[nm])를 사용하고, 수신부는 PIN-Photodiode를 사용하였다. 센싱부로 사용한 광섬유는 single mode unjacked fiber를 사용하였고, 편광기를 사용하여 빛의 광학적인 편파면을 이용한 전류측정이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 측정 결과에서는 전류에 따른 출력 신호가 나옴으로써 기존 문헌상의 결과와 동일하다는 것을 알 수 있었고 센싱부로 사용한 파이버의 길이에 따른 출력차이를 통해 파이버의 길이가 길수록 강도가 커진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 길이에 따라 출력의 차이뿐만 아니라 선형성까지도 차이가 난다는 것을 알 수 있었다. reference 값과 광전류센서의 출력 강도와의 오차율을 구했을 때 5[m] 10[m]길이의 광섬유 각각에 대해서 1000[A]이상의 값에서 각각 약 -0.9[%], -0.4[%]의 오차율을 보임을 확인했다. 여기서 인가한 전류값과 길이 즉, 감은 수에 따라 그 오차율이 점점 나아질 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A single body type of fiber-optic current and voltae sensor using a rare earth doped YIG and a bismuth silicon oxide single crystsl is proposed, which is used for simultaneous measurement of the AC electric current and AC electric voltage over the trasmission lines. Experimental results showed that the fiber-optic current sensor has the maximum 7.5% error within the current range of 0A to 400A, and the fiber-optic voltage sensor has the maximum 0.87% error within the current range of 0V to 400V. The output waveforms of proposed fiber-optic sensor system has a good agreement with output waveforms of conductor current and voltage. Experimental results proved that the output of fiber-optic current sensor is not affected by the electric voltage applied to the fiber-optic voltage sensor, and also, that the output of fiber-optic voltage sensor is not affected by the electric current applied to the fiber-optic current sensor.

This paper presentes a new method to measure high electric field (or high voltage) by using crystalline SiO2 which has very high half wave voltage. There are many difficulties in measuring high electric field using other crystals which have generally low half wave voltage.By applying Stokes parameter and Mueller matrix. We derive optical modulation equation in the sensor which is composed of a polarizer, and Mueller matrix, we derive optical modulation equation in the sensor which is composed of a polarizer, a Pokels material, and an analyzer, We theoretically analyzed electro-optic effect, and calculated the phase retardation and half wave volt age of the birefringent material. The designed optical valtage sensor has very excellent linearity up to 20KV without divided volt-age. The maximum error was measured within 3%. Before annealing of Sio2 crystal, the maximum variation of the output voltage is 7.5% with varying temperature from \ulcorner20˚c to 60˚c. But, after annealing of SiO2 crystal, the output voltage variation is improved within 1%error.

Optical current sensors are suitable for operation in high voltage and high current environments such as power plants due to they are not affected by electromagnetic interference and have excellent insulation characteristics. However, as they operate in a harsh environment such as large temperature fluctuation and mechanical vibration, high reliability of the sensor is required. Therefore, many groups have been working on enhancing the reliability. In this work, an integrated optical current sensor incorporating polarization-rotated reflection interferometer is proposed. By integrating various optical components on a single chip, the sensor exhibits enhanced stability as well as the solution for low-cost optical sensors. Using this, we performed the characterization for the actual field application. By using a large power source, the current of 0.3 kA~36 kA was applied to the photosensor and the linear operation characteristics were observed. The error of the sensor was within $0{\pm}.5%$. Even when operating for a long time, the error range of the sensor was kept within $0{\pm}.5%$. In addition, the measurement of the frequency response over the range of 60 Hz to 10 kHz has confirmed that the 3-dB frequency band of the proposed OCT is well over 10 kHz.
