Magnetic Optical Current Transformer Market

Magnetic Optical Current Transformer Market Outlook - 2026

Magneto optic current transformer is a device that uses the influence of magnetic field to rotate orientation of polarized light. The rotation angle is dependent on the intensity of magnetic field. Thus, the magneto optic current transformer works on faradays effect to measure the electric current. The inductive type transformer with core and windings is used in substations and power stations to measure electric current. 
The advantage of magneto optic current transformer such as its high voltage tolerance and absence of saturation state broadens its application across power stations industry and instrumentation. The drawback of conventional transformers such as saturation of magnetic field under high current, electromagnetic interference, and complicated insulation fosters the growth for the advanced magnetic optical current transformer market.

The factors including increase in usage of high voltage devices across the power generation, transmission, and distribution station, and increase in usage of computer controlled and digital device in the industry drive the magnetic optical current transformer market growth. The power station and substation use inductive type current transformers, for high power applications, porcelain insulators and others where these conventional transformers offer less reliability in terms of breakage and device damage. Thus, the use of magneto optic current transformer provide resistance in high voltage operations. 

There occur several instances where application of conventional transformers under high voltage current has caused damage to switchyards, electric damage to relays, and power service disruptions. High saturation level of magnetic optical current transformer overcomes this challenge and therefore is preferred for use even in the computerized control techniques and digital devices. Hence, the advantages of high voltage current resistance have influenced its application in the power generation market. The use of magnetic optical current transformer provides resistance against electromagnetic interference introduced by the ground loop and provides protection to the devices.

However, the bending of optical fiber may result to cause refractive index to change and reduce the response sensitivity, and increase the influence of temperature due to hoops in the fiber. Therefore, it acts as a major restraining factor to the magnetic optical current transformer market. The increase in process automation in power and energy sector such as management, switching, industrial control systems and various computing devices requires the application of magnetic optical current transformers for precision in current measurement has widened the future of magnetic optical current transformer market.

The magnetic optical current transformer market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is bifurcated into fiber type and no-fiber type.
