Classification of Partial Discharge in Vehicle-Mounted Cable Termination of High-Speed Electric Multiple Unit: A Machine Learning-Based Approach
Abstract
This paper presents a machine learning-based approach to identify and separate partial discharge (PD) and two typical pulse interference (PI) signals in the vehicle-mounted cable terminations of high-speed electric multiple units (EMUs). First, a test platform was established to capture PD and two typical PI signals in these terminations. The acquired signals were then processed using the square envelope method to extract feature parameters, such as the rise time proportion, the left–right symmetry, and the upper–lower symmetry. PD signal classification was carried out on these signals, utilizing waveform parameters derived from a hierarchical clustering algorithm. The results validate that the extracted feature components effectively classify and separate PD and two typical PI signals in the vehicle-mounted cable terminations of high-speed EMUs.
