Explore Specifications →The Republic of Turkey sits at the strategic crossroads of Eurasian energy corridors, operating one of the largest synchronized high-voltage electrical networks in the ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) continental European zone. Under the leadership of TEİAŞ (Türkiye Elektrik İletim A.Ş.) and 21 regional electricity distribution companies (EDAŞ), Turkey is undergoing an unprecedented modernization push toward intelligent, cyber-resilient, and fully digital substations governed by the IEC 61850-9-2 process bus architecture.
In this digital grid paradigm, traditional inductive voltage transformers (VTs) and capacitive potential transformers (CVTs) present inherent limitations: ferromagnetic resonance, saturation during severe transients, dielectric breakdown risks from oil leaks, bulky footprints, and analog signal degradation over lengthy copper cables. Optical Potential Transformers (OPTs), utilizing electro-optic modulation (Pockels effect) and pure fiber-optic signal transmission, have emerged as the paramount instrument transformer technology for Turkish utilities, renewable megaprojects, and heavy industrial complexes.
OPTs replace conventional electromagnetic coupling with pure electro-optic crystals and passive fiber loops. This eradicates ferroresonance catastrophes, eliminates explosive oil hazards, and provides instantaneous, wide-bandwidth optical voltage sensing with nanosecond transient response—vital for stabilizing high-penetration wind corridors in the Aegean and giant solar installations across Central Anatolia.
Engineered to surpass legacy instrumentation standards and deliver uncompromised precision across 35kV, 154kV, 220kV, and 400kV substations.
By replacing heavy iron cores with advanced Pockels effect crystals, OPTs entirely eliminate ferromagnetic resonance, magnetic saturation, and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI). Substation protection relays receive authentic primary waveform reproduction without signal distortion.
Equipped with intelligent Merging Units (MUs), our custom OPTs output Sampled Measured Values (SMV) directly via optical Ethernet fiber. This cuts copper cabling by over 80%, optimizes control room space, and prevents secondary circuit hazardous open-loop overvoltages.
Custom-built with ultra-lightweight composite silicone polymer housing, our OPTs withstand severe seismic accelerations exceeding IEEE 693 / Turkish Seismic Zone 1 requirements, coastal saline humidity along the Marmara Sea, and extreme temperature swings in Eastern Anatolia.
Meeting rigorous municipal, high-speed transit, heavy manufacturing, and green power generation criteria.
Turkey’s wind power capacity in the Aegean and Marmara regions (Balıkesir, İzmir, Çanakkale) and gigawatt-scale photovoltaic projects such as the Karapınar Solar Power Plant in Konya require precise harmonic measurement and wide dynamic response. Custom Optical Potential Transformers accurately track harmonic frequencies up to the 50th order, ensuring stringent grid code compliance and real-time reactive power compensation.
Industrial manufacturing centers in Gebze (Organized Industrial Zones - OSB), Dilovası, İskenderun, and Aliağa operate heavy electric arc furnaces (EAF) and chemical chlor-alkali processes that generate severe electrical noise and voltage flickers. Our OPT systems provide total galvanic isolation between high-voltage lines and sensitive SCADA networks, safeguarding metering electronics.
The continuous expansion of Turkey's State Railways (TCDD) high-speed rail corridors (Ankara-Istanbul, Ankara-Sivas, Ankara-İzmir) utilizes 25kV 50Hz single-phase AC traction power. Optical potential transformers offer ultra-fast transient detection and superior vibration immunity, ensuring continuous catenary voltage monitoring and uninterrupted high-speed transport.
Space constraints in major Turkish metropolitan centers demand compact, eco-friendly Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) integrations. With no oil filling and lightweight structural assembly, our optical VT heads integrate effortlessly into compact SF6 or dry-air GIS bays without fire containment barriers or oil drainage pits.
