A Faraday optical current sensor arrangement for measuring the current through a power line comprises a Faraday optical current sensor (38) having an elongated and substantially cylindrical shape defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The Faraday optical current sensor has a first optical conduit (48) extending from the first end and a second optical conduit (48) extending from the second end. Furthermore, the Faraday optical current sensor arrangement comprises a hollow housing (12,14) enveloping the Faraday optical current sensor and fixating the Faraday optical current sensor in a specific measurement position relative to the hollow housing. The hollow housing defines a channel for accommodating the Faraday optical current sensor and the first and second optical conduits and an opening (15) for communicating with the channel. The hollow housing includes a holder (16) for fixating the power line and the hollow housing relative to one another in a juxtaposed position and positioning the Faraday optical current sensor in a specific measuring position relative to the power line.
