Zusammenfassung:There is provided by this invention an electronic circuit for interfacing with a magneto-optical current sensor employing the Faraday effect to measure current in a high voltage transmission line. A DC biasing voltage is applied to the output of a photodetector to substantially eliminate the DC component providing a substantially AC output signal to the circuit. There is also provided a negative low pass error feedback to self-calibrate the circuit.
