Integrated-optic voltage transducer for high-voltage applications. Chavez, Patrick P.; Jaeger, Nicolas A. F.; Rahmatian, Farnoosh; Yakymyshyn, Christopher P.

Abstract

This paper describes a novel voltage transducer. Its design is based on a mathematical procedure that enables a small numberof strategically positioned electric field sensors to accurately measure the voltage. The voltage transducer takes advantage ofexisting compact, non-intrusive optical electric field sensor technology, specifically, the integrated-optic Pockels cell (IOPC),but is not limited to optical technology. The key advantage of this voltage transducer over other existing optics-based voltagetransducer technologies is that it does not require any customized electrode structures and/or special insulation. A highvoltageintegrated-optic voltage transducer has been used to obtain measurements with metering class accuracies. Copyright 2000 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
