Closing spring fatigue faults of high voltage circuit breakers affect the timing parameters in closing operations and reduce the closing performance of the circuit breaker. Traditional tests of timing parameter based on travel curve cannot be applied online, and sensor installation is complicated. In this paper, a new method to extract key circuit breaker timing parameters from the vibration signal under closing spring fatigue fault is proposed. First, the travel curve of the circuit breaker under closing spring fatigue is simulated in Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems (ADAMS). Results indicate that the time intervals between key points of the travel curve can be used as fault features. Then, according to the working principle of the circuit breaker’s spring operating mechanism, the vibration event caused by component impact in the closing operation is analyzed. The corresponding timing parameters are extracted from the vibration signal using the double threshold method based on the short-time energy to entropy ratio. Finally, comparison of experimental measurements with ADAMS simulation results and vibration extraction provides the change law of the fault feature. The correctness of the proposed method is verified. This paper presents a new method for online monitoring of circuit breaker closing spring fatigue.

Aiming to better reflect features of machinery vibration signals of high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker (CB), a new method is proposed on the basis of energy-equal entropy of wavelet packet(WP). First of all, three-layer wavelet packet decomposes vibration signal, reconstructing 8 nodes of signals in the 3rd layer. Then, the vector is extracted with energy-equal entropy of reconstructed signals. At last, the simple back-propagation (BP) neural network for fault diagnosis contributes to classification of the characteristic parameter. This technology is the basis of a number of patents and patents pending, which is experimentally demonstrated by the significant improvement of diagnose faults.

Fault Feature Extraction

The kurtogram is a spectral analysis tool used to detect non-stationarities in a signal. It can be effectively used to determine the optimal filter for bearing fault feature extraction from a blurred vibration signal, since the transients of the bearing fault-induced signal can be regarded as non-stationary. However, the effectiveness of the kurtogram is diminished when the signal is collected from a bearing operating under time-varying speed conditions. There is a need to improve the performance of the kurtogram under time-varying speed conditions. In this paper, a short-time kurtogram method is proposed for bearing fault feature extraction under time-varying speed conditions. The performance of the short-time kurtogram is examined with experimental data. The results demonstrate that the short-time kurtogram can effectively be used to extract bearing fault features under time-varying speed conditions.

AbstractIn recent years, considerable attention has been paid in time–frequency analysis (TFA) methods, which is an effective technology in processing the vibration signal of rotating machinery. However, TFA techniques are not sufficient to handle signals having a strong non-stationary characteristic. To overcome this drawback, taking short-time Fourier transform as a link, a TFA methods that using the generalized Warblet transform (GWT) in combination with the second order synchroextracting transform (SSET) is proposed in this study. Firstly, based on the GWT and SSET theories, this paper proposes a method combining the two TFA methods to improve the TFA concentration, named GWT–SSET. Secondly, the method is verified numerically with single-component and multi-component signals, respectively. Quantized indicators, Rényi entropy and mean relative error (MRE) are used to analyze the concentration of TFA and accuracy of instantly frequency (IF) estimation, respectively. Finally, the proposed method is applied to analyze nonstationary signals in variable speed. The numerical and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the GWT–SSET method.

One aspect of the recent article by Drennan (1976) merits some additional discussion. This has to do with the units of time that can be discriminated by seriation methods. One advance claimed for the new method proposed is that it allows for time placement within 25 years or so, stated as “ … finer than most traditional seriation.” In an article published 17 years ago, I showed this degree of time discrimination, with a much simpler graphical method of seriation.

This paper studied misfire diagnosis of diesel engine based on short-time vibration characters. Misfire of diesel engine was simulated by the vibration monitoring test. Cylinder vibration signal and top center signal were collected under different states. The short-time vibration signal of each cylinder was intercepted according to the diesel combustion sequence, effective value was calculated, and BP Neural Network model built with this character was used to diagnose diesel misfire. The result shows that this method can locate the misfire cylinder effectively, and it is meaningful for guiding the detection and repair of vehicles.
