The invention provides a partial discharge work frequency synchronization signal sensing device which mainly solves the problems that existing work frequency synchronization signals are not easy to operate on field and poor in safety, and extraction of the work frequency synchronization signals needs access of a high pressure secondary circuit. The partial discharge work frequency synchronization signal sensing device comprises a sensor, an overvoltage protection circuit, a primary amplifying circuit, a narrow-band filtering frequency-selecting circuit, an automatic gain control circuit, a secondary amplifying circuit and a power conversion module. The whole partial discharge work frequency synchronization signal sensing device is fixed at a position outside a high-pressure device or line safe distance, and is used for obtaining work frequency signals, inputting the work frequency signals to the overvoltage protection circuit and other devices, filtering out high-frequency components, and carrying out frequency-selecting and gain controllable amplification on the signals through the primary amplifying circuit, the narrow-band filtering frequency-selecting circuit, the automatic gain control circuit and the secondary amplifying circuit in sequence. The partial discharge work frequency synchronization signal sensing device is capable of breaking away from the mains supply, and has the advantages of being safe, high in receiving sensitivity, small in phase errors with the work frequency signals, simple in operation, and capable of being used for providing reliable and stable synchronous trigger signals for partial discharge signal collection.
