Monitoring diagnosis device for electrical appliance

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A monitoring diagnosis device for an electrical appliance such as gas insulated switchgear includes a sensor such as an acceleration sensor, and a neural network including an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layer each, consisting of a plurality of neural elements coupled to the adjacent layer via a plurality of connection weights. The output of the sensor is first processed and then is supplied to the neural elements of the input layer. The connection weights are adjusted by means of learning data such that the output from the neural elements of the output layer of the neural network correctly identifies the causes of abnormality of the electrical appliance.
