The invention discloses a complex electrical field measuring system which comprises a complex electrical field sensing and measuring unit, a handset unit and a measured place grounding reference plate-type electrode. According to the system, devices of a complex electrical field can be tested simultaneously at a same measuring position, or a power frequency electric field, a direct-current electric field and an AC / DC combined complex electric field can be respectively measured in a controlled way. Thus, the function of measuring three different electric fields by a same measuring instrument is realized without a computer used as a part for achieving the measuring function, and measured date adopts wireless transmission. the method is direct and can be adopted to conveniently, effectively and accurately measure magnitude of an electric field of an electric transmission line and a convertor station in AC, DC and AC / DC parallel areas at a same measuring point, thus providing scientific data monitoring basis for transmission and transformation project environmental evaluation and research on electromagnetic environment level of AC / DC electric transmission line parallel and cross and span areas. In addition, measurements are convenient and simplified.
