On-line monitoring and the diagnosis of the high-voltage circuit breaker (HVCB) have been discussed and investigated significantly in the past few decades. The vibration analysis is a noninvasive and advanced diagnostic technique suitable for the detection of mechanical conditions during the HVCB operation, which plays an important role in improving the operating reliability of HVCB and reduces maintenance costs. However, due to the very complicated mechanical system and extremely short operation time of HVCB, the vibration signal has the characteristics of highly nonlinear, non-stationary, and corrupted by heavy garbage noise, which makes it very difficult to precisely extract effective features for machinery fault diagnosis. To address this issue, an energy entropy of Hilbert marginal spectrum (HMS) based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) is presented to analyze the vibration signals of HVCB in this paper. The VMD is used to decompose the vibration signal into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) reflecting its local characteristics, and then, the energy entropy of IMF’s HMS, which varies from different failure modes of HVCB, is obtained by Hilbert transform and entropy-information theory. The characteristics of IMF’s HMS, which reveal the variation of vibration signals, under different failure modes of HVCB, are practically analyzed and examined to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method in feature extraction. The IMF that best reflects the mechanical anomaly information of HVCB is ascertained from IMF’s HMS, and its Hilbert marginal spectrum energy entropy (HMSEE), namely, IMF-HMSEE, which synthetically reflects the variations of vibration signal’s amplitude, phase, and frequency, is turned out to have excellent classification performance for some mechanical anomalies of HVCB. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is substantiated by experiments carried out in a 12-kV vacuum HVCB.
