Magnetic Optical Current Transformer Market Trends




  • Improved safety and reliability is driving the market growth




The removal of galvanic isolation is one of the main factors driving the MOCT market, along with enhanced safety and dependability. Traditional CTs, which are frequently used in power systems, call for a physical connection to be made between the primary and secondary windings, which could be dangerous. There is a risk of electrical shock to workers who are close to the equipment or potential damage to the linked equipment in the event of insulation failure or a fault situation. Traditional CTs with galvanic isolation can also be vulnerable to internal arcing, partial discharge, and insulation failure, which further jeopardizes safety and dependability.


MOCTs, on the other hand, provide a non-contact method of measuring current since they do so by utilizing the Faraday effect in magneto-optical materials. Electrical dangers are considerably decreased by this intrinsic isolation from the main current-carrying wire, assuring the safety of both people and equipment. MOCTs offer improved protection against electrical faults and improve electrical fault protection by doing away with the requirement for physical connections and galvanic isolation, making installations safer and more dependable.


Additionally, MOCTs have a higher dependability than conventional CTs due to the lack of physical touch and moving parts. Due to the physical contact between the windings and the magnetic core, mechanical wear and tear are frequent problems with CTs, potentially resulting in performance deterioration over time. MOCTs, in contrast, do not experience such mechanical problems, ensuring reliable observations throughout time.


Furthermore, MOCTs are made to be resistant to magnetic saturation, a fundamental drawback of conventional CTs. Traditional CTs may be inaccurate in high-current applications because the core material has reached its magnetic saturation threshold. This saturation effect can affect the power system's overall performance and result in misleading current measurements. With their resistance to magnetic saturation, MOCTs can operate reliably under a variety of load circumstances by providing precise measurements even when the current is high. Thus, driving the Magnetic Optical Current Transformer market revenue.
