1. SUMMARY
This paper describes a digital optical measuring system
for EHV substations and discusses its properties and
influence on substation layout.
The paper also reports from an installation where the
optical system is used in parallel to an identical
protection system operated from conventional
instrument transformers.

6. TEST INSTALLATION
In order to gain experience using the DOCT in an
operational environment and driving a protective relay,
collaborative field trials are necessary. One such trial
has been started with the National Grid Company plc in
the UK. In this trial two identical distance protection
systems have been installed, one using signals from
conventional current and voltage transformers and the
other with signals from DOCTs and conventional CVTs.
The protection systems consists of numerical line
protection, digital fault recorder and interface to a PC
for data collection and supervision.

8. CONCLUSION
The DOIT system using optically powered electronics
and digital signal transmission offer several advantages:
- Few, low stressed components in the
transducer gives high reliability.
- Easy installation.
- No apparent mechanical sensitivity.
- The accuracy performance is restricted to the
transducer, no additional errors from signal transmission
and processing.
The DOIT system is widely used for protection in series
capacitor installations. The result of this trial confirms
that the equipment fulfills the requirements for line
protection and that a broader application in substations
is suitable.
