High‑voltage transmission lines serve as the backbone of the national power grid, enabling cross‑regional energy allocation, west‑to‑east power transmission and large‑scale renewable power delivery. Online monitoring devices act as “remote eyes” for grid safety, real‑time tracking icing, conductor temperature, sag, aeolian vibration, insulator pollution and tower inclination to prevent tower collapse, line breakage and ice flashover. DC de‑icing equipment eliminates icing hazards by heating conductors with high DC current to resolve tripping and tower failures caused by ice accumulation. The dedicated high‑voltage power supply is the core energy component for both online monitoring and DC de‑icing systems: it provides ultra‑low‑power isolated power for sensors, communication modules and data acquisition units, while delivering high‑current high‑voltage DC output for de‑icing power regulation. Its wide‑temperature adaptability, ultra‑low standby power, long‑term reliability, energy harvesting compatibility and environmental protection performance directly determine monitoring continuity, de‑icing efficiency and overall bulk power grid stability.
