ABSTRACT:
An optical instrument transformer can measure both current and voltage of the primary conductor. Measurement of current is made through modulation effect of a light signal by the optical magnetic-field sensor, and measurement of voltage is made through modulation effect of a light signal by the optical electric-field sensor, by measuring the voltage between a conductor member and an upper flange the of the a bushing, which has a value divided in a dividing ratio determined by the capacitance between the conductor member (4a) and the upper flange and the capacitance between the upper flange and ground.
