Abstract:

With the increasing consumption of electric equipment, the occurring rates of electrical fires also rise in a high speed. This paper proposes a method combine Hilbert-Huang Transformation (HHT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). We adopt the HHT to decompose the current waveform in different kinds of loads, and analyze the Intrinsic Mode Function from time domain and frequency domain. The SVM learns characteristic value in different loads, thus identification of normal condition and arc fault condition can be done in an adaptive way. This paper takes five kinds of common loads (dimmer, drier with high power, drier with low power, fan, heater, etc.) for the research object to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Key words: Arc detecting, arc fault circuit interrupter, Hilbert-Huang transformation, support vector machine
