Research on diagnosis method of series arc fault of three-phase load based on SSA-ELM

Abstract

AbstractArc fault in the three-phase load circuit may cause fire, resulting in production interruption and even worse, it will cause casualties. In order to effectively detect the arc fault in the three-phase circuit, series arc fault experiments of three-phase motor load and frequency converter were carried out under different current conditions. Firstly, variational mode decomposition (VMD) was performed for each cycle of A-phase current, and then the VMD energy entropy and sample entropy were calculated. Secondly, the noise-dominated component was removed according to the permutation entropy, then the average value after first-order difference of the half-cycle reconstructed signal was obtained. An arc fault diagnosis model of extreme learning machine (ELM) optimized by sparrow search algorithm (SSA) was established. The feature vectors were divided into training group and test group to train the model and test its fault diagnosis accuracy. Compared with GA-ELM, PSO-ELM, support vector machine (SVM) and SSA-SVM, the experimental results show that the proposed method can identify the series arc fault accurately and more quickly.
