[0002] The overhead line online integrated monitoring device is an intelligent device used to monitor the operating status of transmission lines in real time, aiming to improve power grid safety, prevent faults, and optimize operation and maintenance efficiency. The device relies on voltage sensors mounted on it to detect the line's voltage signal in real time. However, voltage sensors typically use high-voltage dividing capacitors for voltage division, and these capacitors are in direct contact with the high-voltage signal. If the high-voltage divider fails or breaks down during use, both the connected voltage sensor and the online integrated monitoring device are easily damaged under high-voltage conditions.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for integrated overhead line monitoring devices that use electric field sensors to detect the voltage signal of the line in real time, avoiding direct contact with high-voltage electrical signals. However, existing electric field sensors rely on junction field-effect transistors or specially manufactured operational amplifiers for their high-impedance input stages, resulting in large PCB area requirements, making circuit integration difficult and costly. Furthermore, the signal conditioning circuits rely on passive components for multi-stage filtering and extensive amplification, leading to bulky electric field sensor modules. Therefore, existing electric field sensors cannot meet the non-contact, small-scale, modular requirements of integrated overhead line monitoring devices for high-voltage power grid monitoring.

Based on the target frequency, appropriate resistance and capacitance values ​​can be selected for the sixth resistor R6, the fifteenth capacitor C15, and the sixteenth capacitor C16. When the capacitance values ​​of the fifteenth capacitor C15 and the sixteenth capacitor C16 are both C, due to the mutual influence between the first-stage RC (sixth resistor R6 and fifteenth capacitor C15) and the second-stage RC (sixth resistor R6 and sixteenth capacitor C16), accurate calculation requires solving the transfer function. Therefore, in this specific embodiment of the invention, the expression for calculating the cutoff frequency is approximately in the following form:

The ninth resistor R9 and the nineteenth capacitor C19 together form the output stage RC compensation network, used to match the output impedance and correct high-frequency phase shift, avoiding self-oscillation. When correcting high-frequency phase shift, stability needs to be optimized in conjunction with the op-amp open-loop gain curve to avoid loop oscillation. The eighth resistor R8 and the ninth resistor R9 form the output stage voltage divider feedback network, used to adjust the output voltage swing, match the load requirements of the subsequent stage, and avoid signal clipping.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the output module also includes a power port VCC and a ground port GND. In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the output module does not need to perform signal conditioning function, but only outputs the output signal adjusted by the signal conditioning module. Therefore, in order to minimize the circuit structure, the output module and the power module are organically integrated.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 By utilizing the electric field sensor circuit of this invention to achieve a small-scale modular design of the electric field sensor, the electric field sensor 1 is placed on the overhead line online integrated monitoring device. Since the electric field sensor of this invention requires only 11 passive components, the overall size of the overhead line online integrated monitoring device is greatly reduced, facilitating its portability. The electric field sensor and the high-voltage input signal are in a non-contact relationship, avoiding the risk of voltage divider capacitor breakdown. The high-voltage input signal is sensed using the principle of charge induction to obtain a weak induced signal.
