[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The communication module input is connected to the corresponding communication interface of the microprocessor module output.
[0042] The address module output is connected to the microprocessor module input I / O port.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the open-type through-core current transformer employs a structure with a non-closed shielding layer made of pure iron material, effectively solving the problem of environmental interference in strong magnetic field environments. The permalloy iron core is combined with a 0.1mm diameter enameled wire coil, wound 100 times. The iron core has an inner diameter of 38mm and an outer diameter of 55mm. The opening is tightly joined, and the entire unit is housed within a ring-shaped non-closed shielding layer made of pure iron material, which is reliably grounded. The output terminal of the open-type through-core current transformer is connected to the input terminal of the signal conditioning circuit, and the output terminal of the signal conditioning circuit is connected to the A / D port of the microprocessor module.
[0044] Signal conditioning circuit: This includes a rectifier circuit and resistive elements, converting AC current signals into DC voltage signals for easy acquisition by the microprocessor module. The rectifier circuit uses four Schottky diodes to form a full-bridge rectifier circuit, and the resistive elements are 100-ohm metal film resistors to reduce temperature drift.

[0048] Power Module: The power module uses the AP12N24-ZERO high-performance isolated power module, which converts 220V / 50Hz AC mains power to 12VDC. This power module internally includes surge protection circuitry and differential / common-mode filtering circuitry. Simultaneously, the 220VAC to 12VDC circuit has an input-side fuse F1 and a power-type thermistor R29 connected in series at the input terminal to suppress surge current during power-on. When an abnormal overvoltage input occurs, the varistor R30 immediately reduces its resistance to suppress interference from the overvoltage to subsequent circuits. The common-mode inductor LCM1 attenuates external common-mode electromagnetic interference and suppresses electromagnetic interference emitted by the receiver itself. Through the above circuit design, the device's electromagnetic interference immunity and electromagnetic compatibility performance are significantly improved. Figure 5It is a 220VAC to 12VDC circuit.
