[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention incorporates a surge arrester measuring device. The mounting box is secured to the outside of a fixed column using straps and threaded onto a fixing block with studs, ensuring its stability. The mounting box then transmits the current and voltage from the integrated cable to the diffuser network via wires and cables. The diffuser network, through a dilution component, dilutes the current and voltage deep underground, allowing the sensor to scan and monitor the temperature of the dilution component. The mounting box transmits the sensor data to a cloud platform via the internet, enabling staff to periodically check the data through a source monitoring host. This allows for the measurement of the surge arrester's operating status using the surge arrester measuring device, thereby determining the current flow in the power cable. This ensures that staff can promptly detect potential faults in the metal oxide surge arrester and provides crucial data for condition-based maintenance.

[0022] This invention incorporates a dilution component. By transmitting current and voltage into the transmission conductor, the transmission conductor can transmit current to the electromagnet, allowing the electromagnet to pass through normally. This ensures that the electromagnet generates magnetic force, which interacts with the attracting magnet. The attracting magnet causes the current-discharging cone to rise downwards, thereby allowing the current-discharging cone to discharge the current from the electromagnet and the transmission conductor. By diluting the current in the integrated cable through multiple sets of current-discharging cones, the current in the integrated cable is simultaneously diluted by multiple sets of dilution components, thus preventing excessive current pressure.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 6This utility model provides a measuring device for online monitoring of surge arresters, including 1, a fixed base 2, a lightning rod 3, a voltage-reducing block 4, an integrated cable 5, a fixed column 6, a junction box 7, a surge arrester measuring device 8, a bus voltage monitor 9, and an insulation monitoring host 10.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 This utility model provides a measuring device for online monitoring of surge arresters. The surge arrester measuring device 8 includes a rain cover 81, a mounting box 82, a fixing block 83, a restraint strap 84, a wire cable 85, a diffusion net 86, a dilution component 87, and a sensor 88. The rain cover 81 is installed on the top of the mounting box 82. The fixing block 83 is installed at the rear end of the mounting box 82. The fixing block 83 is fixed to the rear end of the fixing column 6 with fixing bolts. The wire cable 85 is connected to the bottom of the mounting box 82. The diffusion net 86 is installed at the bottom of the wire cable 85. The dilution component 87 is installed inside the diffusion net 86. The sensor 88 is installed below the mounting box 82.

[0033] In this embodiment, the wire cable 85 and the integrated cable 5 are wrapped inside the fixing post 6, so that the wire cable 85 and the integrated cable 5 can better resist the erosion of the airflow. The binding size of the binding strap 84 is consistent with the outer size of the fixing post 6.

[0034] Please see Figure 5 This utility model provides a measuring device for online monitoring of surge arresters. The dilution assembly 87 includes a housing 871, an electromagnet 872, an adsorption magnet 873, a discharge cone 874, a transmission wire 875, and an early warning device 876. The electromagnet 872 is installed inside the housing 871. The top of the electromagnet 872 is magnetically attracted to the top of the adsorption magnet 873. The adsorption magnet 873 is fixed to the top of the discharge cone 874. The transmission wire 875 is laid inside the diffusion net 86 and is connected to the inside of the electromagnet 872. The early warning device 876 is fixed to the top of the housing 871.

[0035] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 872, the adsorption magnet 873, and the discharge cone 874 are vertically arranged on the housing 871. The top of the electromagnet 872 is provided with a wire hole, and the transmission wire 875 is ensured to be able to pass through the top of the electromagnet 872. The diffusion net 86 can be made of insulating material to prevent current from flowing outward through the diffusion net 86, and to ensure that the current can flow downward under the guidance of the discharge cone 874.

[0036] See Figures 1-6 In use, surge arrester 1 is fixed to the top of the fixed column 6, providing stable support for the equipment. Surge arrester 1 is positioned outside the power supply cable to ensure its protective function. During operation, lightning rod 3 works in conjunction with surge arrester 1 to protect the power supply cable. Surge arrester 1 protects electrical equipment from transient overvoltage damage by releasing overvoltage energy from lightning or power system operation. The surge arrester is connected in parallel with the protected equipment. When the grid voltage rises to the operating voltage of the surge arrester, it will quickly activate, limiting the voltage amplitude and ensuring the safety of the equipment insulation.

[0037] When the voltage of surge arrester 1 is too high, the step-down block 4 can use its own material to start and reduce the excessive voltage and current of surge arrester 1. Subsequently, the integrated cable 5 is placed at the bottom of the step-down block 4 so that the current and voltage in the integrated cable 5 can be transmitted downward to the inside of the surge arrester measuring device 8.

[0038] When testing is required, maintenance personnel can open junction box 7 to test the current flow in junction box 7, ensuring that the equipment testing can be completed through junction box 7;

[0039] Meanwhile, the mounting box 82 is secured to the outside of the fixing post 6 by the binding strap 84, and the fixing studs are used to fix it to the fixing block 83 by thread to ensure that the mounting box 82 can be fixed. Then, the mounting box 82 can transmit the current and voltage in the integrated cable 5 to the inside of the diffusion net 86 through the wire cable 85, so that the diffusion net 86 dilutes the current and voltage to the depth of the ground through the dilution component 87.

[0040] Subsequently, by transmitting current and voltage to the inside of the transmission wire 875, the transmission wire 875 can transmit current to the inside of the electromagnet 872. The electromagnet 872 can pass electricity normally, ensuring that the electromagnet 872 can generate magnetic force and cooperate with the adsorption magnet 873. The adsorption magnet 873 carries the current discharge cone 874 downward, thereby allowing the current discharge cone 874 to discharge the current inside the electromagnet 872 and the transmission wire 875. The current in the integrated cable 5 is diluted by multiple sets of current discharge cones 874, and then the current in the integrated cable 5 is diluted synchronously by multiple sets of dilution components 87, thereby avoiding excessive current pressure.

[0041] By setting up sensor 88, the sensor 88 can scan and monitor the temperature of the dilution component 87. This ensures that the installation box 82 can transmit the data scanned by sensor 88 to the cloud platform via the Internet. This allows staff to check the data periodically through the insulation monitoring host 10, thereby measuring the operating status of the surge arrester 1 through the surge arrester measuring device 8. This helps determine the current flow in the power supply cable, ensuring that staff can promptly detect potential faults in the metal oxide zinc surge arrester and provide important data for condition-based maintenance.

The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field.
