The invention discloses a power switch cabinet protection system. The system comprises a controller, a protection current signal input module, a voltage signal input module, a digital signal input module, a wireless communication module, an analog quantity output module, and a programmable control output module. The power switch cabinet protection system is multifunctional, the production of a switch cabinet intelligent protection measurement and control apparatus and the construction of an on-site communication network are simplified, the workload for links of production, test, installation, debugging, and maintenance of the switch cabinets is greatly reduced, and the problem of heavy workload of test, installation, debugging, and maintenance in the conventional production process of the switch cabinets due to various kinds and quantities of intelligent measurement and control equipment is overcome; and since the current power equipment competition is especially more and more fierce, the optimization of the cost for design, manufacture, test, installation, debugging, and maintenance of the switch cabinets and the improvement of the system reliability are the shortcut for improving the competitiveness of equipment manufacturing enterprises.
