Abstract

A compact laser based current transformer (CT) is developed for electric power system protection. Bi-YIG crystal is selected as a useful material based on measurements. A prototype model Bi-YIG laser CT was compared with a resistance shunt CT using a simulation device of transmission lines and similar behavior was observed, clearly demonstrating its usefulness.
