[0002] As a crucial measuring device in the power system, the voltage transformer (VT) is the foundation of the Energy Internet. Its primary winding is directly connected to the high-voltage grid, while its secondary winding is connected to protection devices, measuring instruments, and metering equipment. While isolating the primary system from the secondary equipment, it converts the primary-side high-voltage signal into a secondary-side low-voltage signal for safe collection by secondary protection, measurement, control, and metering equipment.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] See also Figure 1 The present embodiment provides an online monitoring device for a voltage transformer, comprising: a device body, a plurality of card slots, a data acquisition module 2, a calculation module 3, and a signal conversion module 5; the plurality of card slots are sequentially arranged in the device body; the plurality of card slots are of the same size and are provided with connection ports of the same size; the data acquisition module 2, the calculation module 3, and the signal conversion module 5 are respectively fixed in each card slot via the connection ports; the input end of the signal conversion module 5 is connected to the voltage transformer, and the output end is connected to the data acquisition module 2; the signal acquisition end of the data acquisition module 2 is connected to the output end, and the signal sending end is connected to the calculation module 3; the signal receiving end of the calculation module 3 is connected to the signal sending end, and the data sending end is communicatively connected to a remote device.

[0039] The device body is the physical support structure for the entire online monitoring device, housing and organizing other components. Several slots are integrated into the device body and arranged in a specific layout. Each slot is designed with uniform dimensions to facilitate standardized installation of different functional modules. Each slot is also equipped with identical connection ports, ensuring universal and convenient inter-module connectivity. The data acquisition module 2 is responsible for directly or indirectly acquiring real-time data from the voltage transformer, such as collecting and extracting electrical parameters (fundamental frequency, fundamental phase, and fundamental amplitude). The data acquisition module 2 is secured to the slot via a connection port. It receives preliminarily processed signals from the signal conversion module 5 and converts them into digital signals suitable for further processing. The computation module 3 receives the digital signals from the data acquisition module 2 and performs necessary calculations, analysis, and processing, such as fault diagnosis and trend prediction. The computation module 3 not only processes data internally but also has external communication capabilities. It receives the A / D sampled and packaged data output by the data acquisition module 2, processes the data, and transmits the results to a remote monitoring or management system. The signal conversion module 5 is located at the front end of the monitoring chain and is directly connected to the voltage transformer. It converts the high-voltage signal output from the secondary side of the busbar voltage transformer into a proportionally lower voltage signal, which is then output to Data Acquisition Module 2. Each input signal, A, B, and C, is independently protected. This device enables non-stop verification of voltage transformers, significantly reducing power outages and ensuring safe grid operation.

[0040] The working process of the present invention is as follows: the voltage signal monitored by the voltage transformer first passes through the signal conversion module 5, where the preliminary conversion and optimization of the signal form is completed, such as converting the analog signal into a digital signal that is easier to process. The converted signal is sent to the data acquisition module 2. This module further processes these signals, which may include steps such as sampling and quantization, and prepares the processed data for use by the calculation module 3. After receiving the signal from the data acquisition module 2, the calculation module 3 performs necessary calculations and analyses, such as identifying abnormal patterns and evaluating the health status of the equipment. The calculation results are not only used for local alarms or control, but may also be sent to the remote monitoring center through the network interface to achieve remote monitoring and management. The data sending end of the calculation module 3 establishes a communication connection with the remote device, so that maintenance personnel or the automation management system can obtain the monitoring information of the voltage transformer in a timely manner, facilitating rapid response and decision-making.

[0044] In further embodiments, the device further comprises a voltage-resistant enhancement submodule, which includes a voltage-resistant enhancement structure, and the power module 1 is encapsulated in the voltage-resistant enhancement structure. Specifically, the voltage-resistant enhancement structure of the voltage-resistant enhancement submodule improves the device's electrical voltage resistance by optimizing electrical clearance and creepage distances, and employing novel insulation materials and packaging technologies.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the device further includes a protection module 4. The protection module 4 is disposed in a card slot via a connection port and connects to other modules of the online monitoring device, thereby protecting the other modules. Specifically, the protection module 4 integrates signal protection, intelligent overcurrent protection, and other functions into a single compact module, thereby providing overvoltage protection, electromagnetic interference filtering, signal isolation, and overcurrent protection for the device.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment, the protection module 4 includes an intelligent overvoltage protection submodule. The intelligent overvoltage protection submodule is connected to other modules of the online monitoring device and is suitable for providing overcurrent protection for the other modules of the online monitoring device. The intelligent overvoltage protection submodule can implement overcurrent protection using an intelligent electronic device (such as an intelligent circuit breaker), providing real-time monitoring and rapid response.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment, the protection module 4 is further provided with an electromagnetic interference filtering submodule. The electromagnetic interference filtering submodule can use an active component filter to achieve active filtering and select a suitable structural layout to reduce electromagnetic interference. At the same time, during the signal processing process, a software algorithm is used to filter out interference in the digital signal.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment, the protection module 4 is further provided with a signal isolation submodule. The signal isolation submodule can adopt a combination of optoelectronic isolation and isolation barriers, using phototransistors and semiconductor components to prevent direct current flow and achieve isolation.
