Abstract
An analysis of an optical current transducer (OCT) considering in particula r the influence of temperature induced variations in the Verdet constant is presented. The analysis is supported by an experimental evaluation of a pr ototype OCT over a range of operating temperatures and current values and c oncludes with a laboratory demonstration of a temperature compensation sche me that improves the measurement precision to better than 0.7%.
