Analysis of antimagnetic interference properties and structural optimization of magneto-optical glass current sensors

To solve the issue of external magnetic fields interfering with magneto-optical glass current sensors (MOCS), this paper proposes a strip-like splicing structure. First, a mathematical model for integrating the magnetic field strength along the optical path is constructed, and the relationship between the gap size $a$a, the interference source distance $d$d, the angle of the interference source $\theta $θ, and the relative error $\varepsilon $ε is analyzed. Then, an optical-electromagnetic COMSOL Multiphysics simulation model is constructed. The simulation results are in good agreement with the theoretical results. Finally, the strip-like splicing MOCS structure is optimized by combining two different MOCSs with a tilt angle of 45°. Thus, their output signals are summed and the adjacent interference phase signals nearly compensate mutually. This new structure facilitates real-world installation, avoiding the angle being limited to a fixed value, and meeting a 0.2 accuracy of the anti-electromagnetic interference properties.
