FOCS – Fiber-Optic Current Sensor Make light work of DC current

The FOCS system utilizes the Faraday effect to measure current. A simple loop of optical fiber is wound around the busbar in place of the complicated and bulky sensor head of conventional transducers.

Datasheet

FOCS systems can measure currents up to 700 kA. They offer a practical alternative to traditional Hall-effect sensors, using a lightweight, clamp-on design that allows installation without opening bus bars
