Abstract

An electro-optic effect based optical voltage transformer comprises an optical voltage sensor head and an electrical unit, wherein the electrical unit comprises an optical closed-loop feedback control unit and a signal processing unit, the optical closed-loop feedback control unit is connected to the optical voltage sensor head and the optical voltage sensor head is connected to the signal processing unit. In this invention, the light source output power is more stable, the light source center wavelength drift is effectively controlled and the output power coastdown caused by light source aging is prevented; the optical power fluctuation of the optical polarization caused by factors such as temperature, optical fiber vibration, etc., is eliminated, which is conductive to stability and reliability of the optical system; the accuracy of data is improved.
