A comprehensive comparison based on applied mathematics and physics between Lumiker’ s OCT (Optical Current Transformer) based measurement system and traditional measurement systems using conventional CT as the primary method.
What makes our OCT system different?
- Immunity to external electromagnetic fields: our OCTs maintain measurement accuracy without interference from external electromagnetic fields, something not achieved by systems that rely on conventional CTs and then convert that signal to optical. This not only improves accuracy, but provides fundamental resilience that ensures measurement reliability in extreme conditions.
- No risk of saturation, advanced protection: Our OCTs are immune to saturation and are fully integrated into a protection segment, enabling a faster and more reliable protection response, with a 100% safe ‘Trip Zone’. Traditional systems based on conventional CTs, on the other hand, are exposed to saturation and require trip times that compromise their reliability in the event of overloads or faults.
