Analysis of Acoustic Signal in the MICRO Discharges Using Continuous Wavelet Transform
AbstractTo examine the tracking phenomenon that was one of the main causes of fire breaking, fundamental experiments were carried out. To one of the electrodes AC high voltage was applied. The following samples: the mesh plate, the flat ribbon cable and the ignition plug were prepared as the electrode. Current, voltage waveforms of micro discharge and the sound signal detected by the condenser microphone were stored in the Hi-coder memory. In this paper, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) was applied to determine the acoustic sound of the micro discharge and to study its dominant frequency components. Additionally, the energy distribution of acoustic signal was examined by CWT, when the frequency of power supply increased from 10 kHz to 30 kHz.
