IEEE 1601-2010

This standard is intended for use as a basis for performance and interchangeability of equipment covered, and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment. This standard covers certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics of optical current and voltage sensing systems used in the measurement of electricity and the control of equipment associated with the generation, transmission and distribution of alternating current.

To provide a standard for current and voltage sensing systems which use optical techniques to cover the above scope.

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. The performance of optical current and voltage measurement systems used in the generation, transmission, and distribution of alternating current electricity, and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment is described in this trial-use standard. This standard covers certain physical characteristics of the sensing systems that use optical techniques to measure current and voltage. This standard provides the requirements for the performance characteristics and the test of optical current and voltage sensors of a nominal system voltage of 1 kV and above, the information related to the nature of these sensors, and the information related to the application and use of these sensors.
