  • Fiber optic sensor transmission line fault

    Fiber optic sensor transmission line fault

    Bragg wavelength shift is used to measure the fault current and detect fault in power systems. Magnetic fields generated by currents in the overhead transmission lines cause a strain in magnetostrictive material which is then detected by fiber Bragg grating (FBG). A fiber optic based sensor capable of fault detection in both radial and network overhead transmission power line systems is investigated. Unlike the old traditional methods, the advantages of wavelet transform in. Problems within a fiber link can occur due to a wide variety of reasons.
