Resistor RB2 is connected to pin 1 of operational amplifier U11.
[0036] The U10 chip uses a programmable amplifier, model THS7001CPWP, which is programmable and can automatically adjust the gain, replacing the use of hardware components, resulting in a small size and low cost.
[0037] Pin 1 of chip U10 is grounded, pin 2 is connected to resistor R51, pin 6 is connected to resistor R55, and resistors R51 and R55 are grounded. Pin 7 is connected to pin 14, pin 8 is connected to pin 13, and pin 12 is connected to resistor R59. Resistor R59 is connected to capacitor C44, resistor R62, and resistor R60.

[0038] First, the current sensor is attached to the three-phase power supply main cable. It collects the real-time current change value based on the real-time current change and sends it to the operational amplifier U11. After filtering and amplification, it is sent to the programmable amplifier U10. Furthermore, U10 uses the variable gain programmable amplifier chip THS7001CPWP, which can be calculated and processed by software, replacing the use of hardware devices, making it smaller and cheaper.
[0039] Because the sensor is installed on the main cable, it can accurately detect the partial discharge location of the high-voltage cable.
[0040] The input signal is the main cable current signal PDA collected by the current sensor. After passing through the high-frequency capacitor CB1, the signal is filtered by the RC high-pass filter CL1 and R63, and the low-pass filter R124 and C45. After being amplified by the operational amplifier TL082C, it is sent to the programmable gain unit U10 to automatically adjust the gain. This invention enables the signal to be restored and amplified to the maximum extent so that it can be processed by the microcontroller.
