[0002] In large power cabinet such as high-voltage substation, the phenomenon of damage caused by power cable aging, heating and other conditions is one of the reasons for large-scale economic losses. Therefore, high-voltage power equipment needs to set up a temperature detector to monitor the temperature of the equipment, especially the cable connection and other parts in real time. If the temperature monitoring point is in a high-voltage, high-current, strong magnetic field environment, or even in a sealed space, it is easy to encounter strong electromagnetic noise, high-voltage insulation or space limitations and other problems.
[0003] The traditional wireless temperature on-line monitoring technology of electrical equipment is composed of ARM architecture temperature sensor and matched temperature acquisition device, wherein the ARM architecture temperature sensor is composed of MCU / Palladium alloy power device / temperature sensing module / 433MHz radio frequency communication module and other parts.
[0004] The sensor of this technology must actively send radio frequency signals, and the sensor cannot obtain energy from the environment and must rely on battery or external power device. For example, the power device in the patent "CN213027845U wireless temperature measuring device power collection circuit", but the sensor is large in size and cannot be started when the power supply in the power collection circuit is large-scale power failure, and the power collection circuit is easily affected by strong and weak magnetic environment, resulting in space limitations, damage to the surface of the node of the monitored node and other hidden dangers.
[0005] And manual labor inspection has the disadvantages of high labor cost, slow abnormality discovery, and inability to retain and analyze data. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0013] Furthermore, the data acquisition unit also includes a wireless communication module, a data acquisition antenna, and a housing. The radio frequency communication module, signal processing module, and wireless communication module are encapsulated within the housing, which is made of aluminum alloy.
[0014] Furthermore, the data acquisition antenna is magnetically mounted on the side wall of the high-voltage switchgear compartment and cable compartment.
