[0001] This invention belongs to the field of monitoring sensors, specifically referring to a high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor and a partial discharge monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, partial discharge is a major cause of insulation aging and failures in power equipment. Timely and accurate monitoring of partial discharge is crucial for ensuring the safe and stable operation of power systems. Currently, commonly used partial discharge monitoring methods include electrical detection, ultrasonic detection, and chemical detection. Among these, methods based on high-frequency electromagnetic waves are widely used due to their advantages such as high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capabilities.

[0003] However, existing high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensors and partial discharge monitoring devices still have some shortcomings. For example, some sensors have poor high-frequency response characteristics, resulting in insufficient detection capability for weak high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals; some monitoring devices have complex structures, are inconvenient to install and maintain, and are easily affected by external interference, affecting the accuracy of monitoring results. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor and partial discharge monitoring device with better performance. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor proposed in this invention includes a dielectric substrate 1, a current-carrying component 2, and an electromagnetic coupling plate 3. The dielectric substrate 1 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 facing each other. The first surface 101 is attached to the current-carrying component 2, which is used to connect to a power system. The second surface 102 is fixedly attached to the electromagnetic coupling plate 3. One side of the electromagnetic coupling plate 3 has a signal output contact 4. The current-carrying component 2, the dielectric substrate 1, and the electromagnetic coupling plate 3 form a capacitor structure with high-frequency response, so that when a high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal is generated on the current-carrying component 2 of the power system, a high-frequency induced signal is generated on the electromagnetic coupling plate 3. The dielectric substrate 1 is made of a material with high dielectric constant and low loss characteristics, and the electromagnetic coupling plate 3 is made of a highly conductive metal material.

[0022] The partial discharge monitoring device includes a high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor, as well as a signal processing unit, a data storage unit, and an alarm unit. The signal processing unit is electrically connected to the signal output contact 4 of the high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor and is used to amplify, filter, and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the high-frequency induced signal output by the sensor. The data storage unit is electrically connected to the signal processing unit and is used to store the processed signal data. The alarm unit is electrically connected to the signal processing unit and issues an alarm signal when the signal detected by the signal processing unit exceeds a preset threshold. The signal processing unit includes an amplifier, a bandpass filter, and an analog-to-digital converter connected in sequence. It also includes a communication unit, which is electrically connected to the signal processing unit and is used to transmit the monitoring data to a remote monitoring center.

[0023] In practical applications, a suitable dielectric substrate 1 material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is selected and processed into a dielectric substrate 1 with a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 according to the design dimensions. An electromagnetic coupling plate 3 is made of highly conductive copper and fixedly attached to the second surface 102 of the dielectric substrate 1. A signal output contact 4 is provided on one side of the electromagnetic coupling plate 3. During installation, the first surface 101 of the dielectric substrate 1 is tightly attached to the overcurrent component 2 of the power system to ensure good contact between the sensor and the overcurrent component 2.

[0024] Connect the signal output contact 4 of the fabricated high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor to the input terminal of the amplifier in the signal processing unit. Then, connect the amplifier output to the input terminal of the bandpass filter, and the bandpass filter output to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Finally, connect the ADC output to the data storage unit, alarm unit, and communication unit. During debugging, by inputting a standard high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal, adjust parameters such as the amplifier's amplification factor and the bandpass filter's passband frequency to ensure the signal processing unit can accurately process the high-frequency induced signal. Simultaneously, set the alarm threshold for the alarm unit to ensure that an alarm signal is issued promptly when the detected signal exceeds the threshold.

[0025] The partial discharge monitoring device of this invention is applied to the partial discharge monitoring of high-voltage switchgear. A high-frequency electromagnetic wave monitoring sensor is installed on the busbar or other over-current components 2 inside the high-voltage switchgear to monitor the high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals generated during the operation of the switchgear in real time. The signal processing unit processes the signal output from the sensor, and the data storage unit stores the processed signal data. Personnel can transmit the data to a remote monitoring center via the communication unit to understand the real-time operating status of the high-voltage switchgear. When the alarm unit detects a signal exceeding a threshold, it immediately issues an alarm signal, reminding personnel to conduct timely inspection and maintenance to prevent the high-voltage switchgear from malfunctioning due to partial discharge.
