Mechanical Fault Diagnosis of a High Voltage Circuit Breaker Based on High-Efficiency Time-Domain Feature Extraction with Entropy Features

摘要

The fault samples of high voltage circuit breakers are few, the vibration signals are complex, the existing research methods cannot extract the effective information in the features, and it is easy to overfit, slow training, and other problems. To improve the efficiency of feature extraction of a circuit breaker vibration signal and the accuracy of circuit breaker state recognition, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) method based on time-domain feature extraction with multi-type entropy features for mechanical fault diagnosis of the high voltage circuit breaker is proposed. First, the original vibration signal of the high voltage circuit breaker is segmented in the time domain; then, 16 features including 5 kinds of entropy features are extracted directly from each part of the original signal after time-domain segmentation, and the original feature set is constructed. Second, the Split importance value of each feature is calculated, and the optimal feature subset is determined by the forward feature selection, taking the classification accuracy of LightGBM as the decision variable. After that, the LightGBM classifier is constructed based on the feature vector of the optimal feature subset, which can accurately distinguish the mechanical fault state of the high voltage circuit breaker. The experimental results show that the new method has the advantages of high efficiency of feature extraction and high accuracy of fault identification.
