Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical wiring connections with electromagnetic field-based detection. The current detector uses a coil that generates a magnetic field to detect current through electromagnetic induction, while the voltage detector uses a capacitor that generates an electric field to detect voltage through electrostatic induction. This substitution eliminates contact resistance and wiring variations, significantly improving detection value consistency and reliability.
