In the power industry, current is measured for metering and protection purposes. For said measurement, we demonstrated an optical fibre sensor using a single Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) for measuring AC current for this paper. The sensor head is based on an FBG encased in a polymer-half-field metal cylinder, embedded in a magnetic material at the measuring point with the characteristics of an all-optical high pressure sensitivity. The operating mechanism is that the sensor can be attracted by the induced magnetic force created by the solenoid along one radial direction only, and responds to an axial force on the magnetic rod attached to the round plate, creating an axial attraction on the FBG.
