Subsequently, the rotating magnets 3 are rotated so that the two rotating magnets 3 are placed on the two tracks. Then, one core of the three-core sealed connection wire bundle 8 selected by the gating switch 7 is electrically connected to the sealed connection common wire 9. Then, the current amplitude in the sealed connection common wire 9 is electromagnetically induced by the current transformer 14 and input to the current acquisition interface 15. Different specifications of the three-core sealed connection wire bundle 8 can be selected through the gating switch 7 for testing. The track voltage is electrically connected through the voltage measurement wire 6, and the voltage signal of the track is input to the rail surface voltage interface 13 to collect the voltage.
