The detection of a power circuit breaker's operation through measuring electromagnetic emissions produced by the arc in the interruptor tube is a promising method for ensuring the remote supervision of these devices and for identifying operation faults before they lead to an explosion. Project researchers will develop an algorithm to determine computationally the position of the faulty interruptor tube. This algorithm will use as inputs a minimal number of measure points and will have to deduce the position based on the signals' arrival times at each of the measure points. Experimental data will allow researchers to determine the statistical variance of the phenomenon from one measure to the other. This random component will also need to be part of the model, as there is always a certain amount of uncertainty with these measures.
