This part of IEC 61757 defines terminology, structure, and a characteristic test method of an
optical current sensor using the polarimetric method. It addresses the current sensing element
only and not the additional devices that are unique to each application. Generic specifications
for fibre optic sensors are defined in IEC 61757.
As the specifications of optical polarimetric fibre current sensors required by each user vary
depending on the application, this document does not define the required performance values.
The required performance values are defined when designing a sensor according to the specific
application.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
