He began his career with Areva T&D Ltd in New Delhi, India as a Power
Systems Engineer. He has worked on various EHV substation design
projects throughout India.
Bharadwaj Bharadwaj started at ABB as a consulting engineer for the Power systems
Vasudevan group. With a strong background in real time power system modelling, he
got to work on developing transient system models for a couple of
transmission planning projects under the group.

What is FOCS?
Fiber Optic Current Sensor is a high-voltage digital NCIT for
measurement of AC and DC currents
Utilizes measurement of phase delay between two polarizations of
a lightwave
Sensor head contains only passive fiber-optic elements, is small,
flexible and easy adaptable to different applications
Optoelectronic data-processing unit has only two interfaces:
o optical Ethernet outputs for measured current signals
(IEC61850-9-2LE)
o Optical 1PPS input for synchronization signal
One sensor head can cover broad current range (till hundreds of
kA) and is applicable for protection as well as for metering
applications
Broad frequency bandwidth from 0Hz till 13th or 41st harmonic

FOCS
Operating Principle of Optical Current Sensor
Faraday Effect: Left and right circular light waves travel at
different speed through optical material if magnetic field is present
Primary current produces magnetic field which induces a phase
shift FR of circularly polarized light
Optical phase shift is proportional to any instantaneous value of
primary current orthogonal linear retarder left and right circular

FOCS
Motivation for use in power area
Conventional current
measurement (at 420 kV) Safe: As providing a low voltage digital output and filled with nitrogen gas
at ambient pressure, FOCS has zero risk of electrocution and explosion.
Compatible: Suitable for conventional Air Insulated Substation layouts.
The adopted IEC61850-9-2LE protocol allows interoperability with other
vendors’ equipment.
Simplified engineering: Rated voltage and rated current are the only
parameters that need to be specified. As a result, projects have simplified
system engineering and are delivered faster. Additionally, the impact of
late changes in specifications is negligible.
Easy to install: FOCS is light-weight, compact and flexible with
reduced installation costs. Deployment of fiber cables in the substation
Fiber-optic current sensor kit does not require splicing with dedicated fiber-optic equipment. The
outdoor placement of the opto-electronics modules near the insulators
reduces the length of sensor fiber cables to a minimum.

Time Synchronization
Why it matters?
© ABB Group
Time synchronization
Synchronization of sampling
Analog value
The time synchronization is used
current/ voltage to synchronize the sampling of
analogue values
Time It enables synchronous sampling
by different physical devices
Reference to absolute time is not
required
0s 1s
Synchronization on process level
can be separate from station level
Sampled value The need to synchronize depends
current/ voltage on the application
… Sample No
