In this paper, some of optical current transformers and optical potential transformers for extra high voltage system are introduced. The optical current transformer and optical potential transformer will be adopted in the near future, because of increasing demands of high accuracy and good reliability of current transformer and potential transformer. The application cases of optical current transformers and optical potential transformers are also introduced.

In this paper, the ploarization and Faraday rotation properties of the single mode optical fiber have been investigated for magnto-optic current transformer application. On the analysis, the optical fiber is modeled as a linear retarder and the intrinsic birefreingence of the optical fiber is approximately found to be 2.57'/m from the measurement, and the bend-induced birefringence is proportional to the inverse square of bending radius. The polarization rotation sensitivity is foung to be F/H=1.4x$10^-5$rad/[A/m] from the analysis of Faraday rotation of single mode optical fiber.

This paper examines the temperature characteristics of an Optical CT (optical current transformer) using the Faraday effect for measuring high current in a super high voltage-power apparatus. It is performed as follows by the sensor for embodying Faraday effect. $\cdot$ A single-mode optical fiber capable of maintaining a polarization state is used. $\cdot$ A light source is applied at 1310[nm] to a Laser Diode. $\cdot$ The Linear of Faraday effect to a large current is evaluated and $\cdot$ A possible application using an Optical CT was shown. An Influence of Faraday effect to the surrounding temperature measured -40~50[$^{\circ}C$], and the characteristic of the current sensitivity was reported. An application using the results of the temperature compensation system was used in order to compensate for surrounding temperatures. A possibility of applying Optical CT for electric power apparatus was advanced further. We were able to confirm that this temperature calibration method can minimize the fluctuation of the output signal depending on the temperature conditions.

The optical current transformer was developed for 170 kV GIS using optical fiber. The sensor optimized on the optical CT was wound 3 turns and twisted 4 times per a turn at the pipe with a diameter of 130 m. To optimize the optical CT, the output signal was measured according to the setting angle of polarizer and analyzer, The asymmetry and distortion of the output signals were improved when the parallel polarized light was incident to the fiber sensor and under the angle of analyzer was $45^{o}$. The measurement error for the linearity was only $\pm{0.42}\;\%$ to 1,000 A in the case of reflection type.

The optical current transformer using Faraday effect is the sensor to measure current that flows in any conductor. This sensor doesn't undergo the magnetic saturation and effect of adjacent conductors. But this senor using bulk-glass sensing element has crucial drawback. It is impossible that the sensor is mounted to conductor without breaking the closed-loop of light or conductor. So we developed the clamp-type optical current transformer and made an experiment.

In this paper, we analyzed theoretically design requirement of a clamp-type optical current transformer(COCT)head, and manufactured a COCT head based on design requirement. Also, we measured and analyzed the current of conductor, and change of optical power and sensitivity with incidence angle of light using COCT head, and demonstrated the feasibility of manufactured COCT through those experiments.

We manufactured a clamp-type optical current transformer (COCT) head using FD10 glass. It was manufactured of two parts of FD10 glass with symmetrical structure and was designed so that light propagates along the critical angle in order to avoid a phase difference with the light within the sensor head at reflection. Also, we measured and analyzed the current of conductor from 0 to 1,000 AT, change of optical power with incidence angle of light, temperature and polarization of light, long-term current measurement using COCT head, and demonstrated the feasibility of manufactured COCT through those experiments.

The present metering transformer being used for measurement has the characteristics of high reliability and high efficiency. In the future, however, it is thought that the scales of mettering transformer will be larger and the cost of production will increase as the transmission voltage ascends to UHV. And, also, it wilt be not easy to ensure the aseismatic capability. For the purpose of settling these problems, by applying optical sensor technology to electric power systems and by developing optical current transformer and potential transformer, we will realize the saving in energy, reduction of cost prise, improvement in measuring precision.

In this paper, a optical current transformer has been designed and favricated to improve temperature stability caused materials properties and insulation in measuring system, suing single crystal as faraday effect cells. We used 850[nm] Laser diode as the light source and PIN Photodiode as receiver. For the experiment, the temperature transformation device make by aluminum. The range of current was from 0[A]$\sim$1600[A] and the range of temperature was from -20[$^{\circ}C$] to 50[$^{\circ}C$]. In a same experimental condition magnitude increased input current increase follow by increasing proportion of input current. The result of this study shows that characteristics of OCT are good, and it can be reflected for practical optical sensors.
