US 2022/0246350 A1 · Current Transformer with Optic Fiber Mode Electronic Circuit

Abstract

The current transformer system that is the present invention allows for surveillance of an electronic grid at electrical power generating stations, at individual operational substations and in electric power distribution for electric network and grid measurement, protection, and control ranging from very low currents to high current magnitudes. The reception and relay of information from the CT primary circuit is sensed and transmitted by a primary electronic circuitry, digitized, converted to a fiber optic mode, transmitted to a secondary electronic circuit, processed and converted to a digital output and transmitted to various monitoring and recording devices.
