Given the problem that the existing series arc fault identification methods use existing features such as the time-frequency domain of the current signal as the basis for identification, resulting in relatively limited arc detection solutions, and that the methods of directly extracting current signal features using deep learning algorithms have insufficient feature extraction, a new series arc fault detection method based on denoising autoencoder (DAE) and deep residual network (ResNet) is proposed. First, a large number of training samples are obtained through sliding window and data normalization methods, and then high-dimensional abstract feature data are obtained from the fault and normal samples collected in the experiment through denoising autoencoders, converted into grayscale images, and processed in pseudo-color. The single-channel grayscale images are mapped into three-channel color values, and finally, the three-channel values are input into the constructed deep residual network for deep learning training. In the 152 super high-level ResNet, the arc fault recognition rate can reach 99.7%. For loads that have not participated in ResNet network training, the recognition rate can also reach 97.6%.
