Microcontroller electro-optical information-measuring system for control of electric voltage and electric field strength

The relevance of this study, dedicated to the development of a modern microcontroller measuring system for monitoring electric voltage and electric field strength, is shown. It is necessary for Russia to create competitive technologies in the industrial sphere and use it in power engineering, instrument making, high-precision electronics, oil and gas industry to control electric voltage and electric field strength. The goal of the work was formulated as the implementation of structural synthesis and the development of a microcontroller information-measuring system with a sensitive element based on the control of a light beam using an electric field based on the electro-optical Pockels effect. A comparative assessment of the characteristics and possible areas of application of devices and systems based on various physical effects and phenomena was carried out on the basis of foreign and domestic patent and scientific and technical literature. Based on the analysis, the problem was formulated and the choice of effective ways to achieve the goal of this work was carried out. The prospects of fiber-optic and optoelectronic research, as well as insufficient attention to the design and synthesis of microcontroller information-measuring systems with electro-optical modulators as applied to electric power systems, have been established. The need for research in this area is formulated. An algorithm for the synthesis of a new microcontroller measuring system has been developed in the form of a sequence of basic actions. On the basis of the developed algorithm, the synthesis of a new information-measuring system was carried out and its functional diagram was developed. At the same time, its elements were described, their relationship in the functional diagram.
