Abstract

The effects of linear birefringence (LB) upon bulk glass optical current transformers (BGOCTs) with different optical path designs, such as the orthoconjugate reflection (OCR)-typed, the direct reflection (DR)-typed and the roof-prism reflection (RPR)-typed BGOCT designs, are theoretically analyzed and compared with that of the BGOCT with a single-loop optical path in this paper. The results show that the return-back dual-loop current sensing designs with conventional signal processing scheme of “−/+” cannot eliminate the harmful effects of the LB thoroughly, if suitable signal processing schemes, which can separate the LB from Faraday effect, are not used.
