This work presents the development and field application of an on site metrological verification system for high voltage current transformers. It was developed aiming at portability aspects besides the metrological requisites, in such a way it can be easily transported and assembled without the need of power interruption as well as the use of complex and expensive transport and assemble logistics. The system uses an optical transducer as reference standard, whose sensor measures the primary current of current transformer under verification based on Faraday effect It is also composed by additional standard instruments that measure the transformer secondary current under verification, and compares it to the optical transducer output. High voltage laboratory tests as well as on site tests were performed. On site tests were perfomed in two power substations in Brazil, in the city of Belém, in order to assure the correct operation under high voltages and high currents conditions. Six 230 kV rated current transformers were verified. The site tests involved six 230 kV current transformers, under medium load system conditions, and achieved satisfatory results.
