The first voltage division ratio is 100:1, suitable for voltage attenuation in the high-voltage range. When relay K13 receives a control signal and switches to normally open, it switches to the second position. The low-voltage arm resistance is now 6.8KΩ (equivalent to the resistance of R1). In this second position, the voltage division ratio is 30:1, suitable for voltage attenuation in the low-voltage range.

[0033] In this embodiment, the signal isolation unit 4 uses the high-voltage ground of the isolation circuit breaker and the ground of the analog-to-digital converter to ensure the safety of operators and the device. The specific circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the input terminal of signal isolation unit 4 is connected to operational amplifier U16 of signal conditioning unit 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the analog-to-digital conversion unit 5 uses a 16-bit high-precision AD acquisition chip AD7606 for analog-to-digital conversion to detect the voltage of the high-voltage circuit breaker to ground in real time.

[0035] In this embodiment, the ARM main control unit 6 employs a 32-bit microprocessor for real-time signal interaction with the power management unit, performing analog-to-digital conversion on the data from the analog-to-digital conversion unit 5, and implementing intelligent processing strategies based on the collected voltage signals. It controls the interlocking protection unit 8 and the audible and visual alarm unit 9 to effectively interlock the control signals of the circuit breaker operating characteristic tester and issue alarms to on-site testing personnel. The signals are wirelessly transmitted to the circuit breaker testing host device in real-time via the wireless transceiver unit 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, the wireless transceiver unit 7 uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or LoRa to wirelessly transmit the collected voltage signal and prompt information to the circuit breaker test host.

[0037] In this embodiment, the interlocking protection unit 8 uses a Hall sensor to isolate and collect current signals, and monitors the output current of the circuit breaker host in real time, which is used to cut off the voltage and power output of the circuit breaker test host to protect the host. The specific circuit diagram is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 It is used to condition the current signal isolated and acquired by the Hall sensor. It consists of resistors R20, R23, R25, R29, capacitor C15, diodes D12 and D13, and operational amplifier U2-A. Resistors R20, R23, R25 and operational amplifier U2-A form a non-inverting proportional amplifier circuit to amplify the isolated current signal of the Hall sensor.

Relay K6 is an Omron high-current power relay used for interlocking protection of the current line. Capacitor C1 is used to reduce the arc energy on the contacts of relay K6 and to make the contacts easier to close and open, thereby reducing the wear of the contacts and extending the service life of the AC relay.

[0038] In this embodiment, the audible and visual alarm unit 9 can be an audible and visual alarm device, used to alert the operator that there is a high voltage leakage in the circuit breaker and to pay attention to personal safety.

[0039] In this embodiment, the LED display unit 10 can be an LED display screen, which is used to display the voltage information on the high-voltage side in real time for easy viewing and observation by operators.

[0040] The working principle of the above structure:

[0041] First, under the premise of ensuring safety, the operator connects the control power supply of the circuit breaker switch tester to the intelligent auxiliary device, and the intelligent auxiliary device is connected to the closing point, opening point and common terminal of the secondary terminal block of the circuit breaker.

[0042] After the auxiliary device is powered on, the lithium battery power management unit 1 and the ARM main control unit 6 interact in real time to display the power status. The high-voltage signal on the secondary side of the circuit breaker is attenuated to a low-voltage signal by the voltage attenuation unit 2 and then sent to the signal conditioning unit 3. The signal conditioning unit 3 filters and conditions the signal before sending it to the signal isolation unit 4. The signal isolation unit 4 isolates the high-voltage and low-voltage signals, and the isolated signal is then sent to the analog-to-digital converter unit 5. The analog-to-digital converter unit 5 converts the analog signal into a digital signal, which is then displayed in real time on the LED display unit 10 by the ARM main control unit 6. The wireless transceiver unit 7 receives control signals from the circuit breaker test host via wireless signals to achieve control.

[0043] When the ARM main control unit 6 detects that the voltage on the high-voltage secondary side exceeds the safe voltage, it controls the interlocking protection unit 8 through an intelligent handling strategy to cut off the voltage and power output of the circuit breaker test host. The current information is then transmitted back to the circuit breaker test host via the wireless transceiver unit 7. The ARM main control unit 6 controls the audible and visual alarm unit 9 to execute an audible and visual alarm, alerting the operator that the voltage at the site is too high.

[0044] This embodiment achieves stable, efficient, and reliable isolated sampling of circuit breaker control voltage by developing DC voltage isolation measurement technology, intelligent handling strategies, and a human-machine interactive alarm module. Furthermore, the intelligent handling strategy effectively blocks the control signal of the circuit breaker operating characteristic tester and alarms the on-site testing personnel. This avoids the potential impact on the opening and closing coils and secondary control system caused by operating the instrument with the power supply energized, greatly improving the safety of on-site work and effectively ensuring the inherent safety of power grid equipment.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
