Partial Discharges and Noise Discrimination Using Magnetic Antennas, the Cross Wavelet Transform and Support Vector Machines

This paper presents a wavelet analysis technique together with support vector machines (SVM) to discriminate partial discharges (PD) from external disturbances (electromagnetic noise) in a GIS PD measuring system based on magnetic antennas. The technique uses the Cross Wavelet Transform (XWT) to process the PD signals and the external...
