摘要:
We report on the design and implementation of a novel hybrid electro-optical sensor for the measurement of electric current. A fibre Bragg grating is utilized to passively interrogate an air-cored coil via a low-voltage piezoelectric multilayer stack. Peak Bragg reflections are strain-tuned by the Rogowski coil/piezoelectric transducer combination, allowing primary current reconstruction to be performed remotely and without active electronics at the sensor. The preliminary embodiment demonstrates long-distance, passive measurement of current for metering and protection relaying applications, and retains the fiber transducer's capability for serial multiplexing.
