Fibre optic sensors - Part 7-3: Voltage measurement - Polarimetric method

IEC 61757-7-3:2024 defines the terminology, structure, and performance characteristics of fibre optic voltage sensors using a polarimetric measurement method. The document specifies test methods and procedures for measuring key performance parameters of these sensors. It addresses only the voltage sensing element and not the additional devices that are unique to each application. The document does not specify the required performance values of optical polarimetric fibre optic voltage sensors, because these specifications depend on the designated application of the sensor and are typically defined by the user of the sensor. The required performance values are usually defined when designing a sensor for a specific application.

Capteurs fibroniques - Partie 7-3: Mesure de tension - Méthode polarimétrique

IEC 61757-7-3:2024 définit la terminologie, la structure et les caractéristiques de performance des capteurs de tension fibroniques à l’aide d’une méthode de mesure polarimétrique. Le document spécifie les méthodes et procédures d’essai permettant de mesurer les paramètres de performance clés de ces capteurs. Il traite uniquement de l’élément de détection de tension, et non des dispositifs supplémentaires qui sont propres à chaque application. Le document ne spécifie pas les valeurs de performance exigées des capteurs de tension fibroniques polarimétriques, car ces spécifications dépendent de l’application choisie pour le capteur et sont généralement définies par l’utilisateur du capteur. Les valeurs de performance exigées sont habituellement définies lors de la conception d’un capteur pour une application spécifique.

Optični senzorji - 7-3. del: Merjenje napetosti - Polarimetrijska metoda (IEC 61757-7-3:2024)

Standard IEC 61757-7-3:2024 določa terminologijo, strukturo in zmogljivostne lastnosti optičnih napetostnih senzorjev z uporabo polarimetrijske merilne metode. Ta dokument določa preskusne metode in postopke za merjenje ključnih parametrov zmogljivosti teh senzorjev. Obravnava samo element za zaznavanje napetosti in ne dodatnih naprav, ki so edinstvene za posamezno vrsto uporabe. Ta dokument ne določa zahtevanih vrednosti zmogljivosti optičnih polarimetričnih napetostnih senzorjev, saj so te specifikacije odvisne od predvidene vrste uporabe senzorja in jih običajno določi uporabnik senzorja. Zahtevane vrednosti zmogljivosti se običajno določijo pri načrtovanju senzorja za specifično vrsto uporabe.
