description Aiming to address the problems of difficulty in selecting characteristic quantities and the reliance on manual experience in the diagnosis of transformer core loosening faults, a diagnosis method for transformer core looseness based on the Gram angle field (GAF), residual network (ResNet), and multi-head attention mechanism (MA) is proposed. This method automatically learns effective fault features directly from GAF images without the need for manual feature extraction. Firstly, the vibration signal is denoised using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and the one-dimensional temporal signal is converted into a two-dimensional image using Gram angle field to generate an image dataset. Subsequently, the image set is input into ResNet to train the model, and the output of ResNet is weighted and summed using a multi-head attention module to obtain the deep feature representation of the image signal. Finally, the classification probabilities of different iron-core loosening states of the transformer are output through fully connected layers and Softmax layers. The experimental results show that the diagnostic model proposed in this paper has an accuracy of 99.52% in identifying loose iron cores in transformers, and can effectively identify loose iron cores in different positions. It is suitable for the identification and diagnosis of loose iron cores in transformers. Compared with traditional methods, this method has better fault classification performance and noise resistance.
