[0002] In aluminum electrolysis production, the stable operation of the electrolytic cell is crucial to the quality of aluminum products and production efficiency, and the zero-point position of the electrolytic cell is a key parameter affecting the stability of the entire electrolysis system. The root cause of zero-point drift in the power supply of the aluminum electrolysis system is leakage in the electrolytic cell, a phenomenon that is widespread and difficult to eradicate.

[0053] Referring to Figures 1(a) and 1(b), this device consists of two parts: a field voltage acquisition sub-device and a portable receiving and display sub-device.

[0054] 1) On-site voltage acquisition sub-device: Installed on the midpoint busbar 3 of the electrolytic cell series, it consists of a voltage sampling isolator 4, a PLC 6, a wireless transmitter 7, and an AD-DC power converter 9. The input terminal of the voltage sampling isolator 4 is connected to the midpoint busbar 3 of the electrolytic cell series and the grounding electrode, and the output terminal is connected to the analog input module of the PLC 6.

[0055] 2) Portable Receiving and Display Sub-device: Composed of a lithium battery 11, a DC-DC boost converter 12, a wireless signal receiver 13, and a zero-point display screen 14.
