As FOCS are resistant to effects from magnetic or electrical field interferences, they are ideal for the measurement of electrical currents and high voltages in electrical power stations or other environments with large currents. FOCS sensors are also frequently used in military applications, as the sensors are readily hardened against electromagnetic pulses due to their inherently non-conductive nature.
