This invention discloses a withstand voltage testing device for a self-powered temperature acquisition system, belonging to the technical field of testing devices. It includes a support block with a controller mounted on its outer surface and a testing component for detecting the withstand voltage strength of the self-powered temperature acquisition system located near the center of the top of the support block. When performing withstand voltage testing on a self-powered temperature acquisition system used for connectors, if the gas sensor detects excessively high levels of [unspecified substance] in the test chamber, the arc-shaped protective chamber moves downwards, causing the sealing ring to move downwards into the slot. The gas generated by the explosion first enters the cavity to filter out dust, then cools down through a threaded tube before flowing back into the arc-shaped protective chamber. This process is repeated until the temperature in the flow tube reaches the required value.
