[0003] With the development of science and technology, new detection methods have appeared in partial discharge detection. For example, Chinese Patent CN119881561A discloses a converter transformer state detection method and platform based on PD monitoring, which mainly detects the converter transformer by using sound, light, electricity and heat signals, but does not consider the real-time of data, the influence of environmental temperature and humidity, and the multi-sensor collaborative optimization and intelligent analysis means. Therefore, how to ensure the real-time of data, the influence of environmental temperature and humidity, and the multi-sensor collaborative optimization to complete the judgment of partial discharge type, probability and abnormal position is an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0015] The tablet computer is used to receive ambient temperature, ambient humidity, UHF, HFCT, TEV, AA / AE signals and infrared temperature matrix signals. It displays the UHF, HFCT, TEV and AA / AE signals as time-domain waveforms and PRPD / PRPS maps, and the infrared temperature matrix signals as infrared thermal images. By incorporating ambient temperature and humidity factors, it determines the type and degree of partial discharge based on the characteristics of the time-domain waveforms and PRPD / PRPS maps, and determines the specific location of the partial discharge based on the infrared temperature matrix map. At the same time, it sends all data to a remote cloud server via a 4G / 5G network.
