Medium voltage (MV) switchgear is a vital part of modern power systems, responsible for regulating the flow of electrical power and ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. However, switchgear can experience various types of faults that can compromise its reliability and safety. Common faults in switchgear include arcing, tracking, corona, normal cases, and mechanical faults. Accurate detection of these faults is essential for maintaining the safety of MV switchgear. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for fault detection using a hybrid model (1D-CNN-LSTM) in both the time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD). The proposed approach involves gathering a dataset of switchgear operation data and pre-processing it to prepare it for training. The hybrid model is then trained on this dataset, and its performance is evaluated in the testing phase. The results of the testing phase demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid model in detecting faults. The model achieved 100% accuracy in both the time and frequency domains for classifying faults in Switchgear, including tracking, normal cases, and mechanical faults. Additionally, the model achieved 98.4% accuracy in detecting corona faults in the TD. The hybrid model proposed in this study provides an effective and efficient approach for fault detection in MV switchgear. By learning spatial and temporal features simultaneously, this model can accurately classify faults in both the TD and FD. This approach has significant potential to improve the safety of MV switchgear as well as other industrial applications.
