The invention relates to a phase attention mechanism network model-based circuit breaker residual life prediction method, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, acquiring a vibration signal in an opening process, then optimizing a VMD algorithm, decomposing the vibration signal by using the optimized VMD algorithm, and selecting a modal component with relatively high kurtosis for reconstruction; then, according to the energy-entropy ratio, a contact breaking vibration segment is extracted from the reconstructed vibration signal; and finally, a prediction model fusing a stage attention mechanism is established, the prediction model takes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network and a GRU network as a trunk network, the stage attention mechanism is divided into two stages, the first stage is a distributed attention mechanism applied to the one-dimensional convolutional neural network, weighting is performed on an input sample in time and feature dimensions, and the second stage is a distributed attention mechanism applied to the GRU network. And in the second stage, weighting is carried out on the time dimension again by applying a time step attention mechanism of the GRU network. According to the method, the contribution degree of important information on the time dimension and the feature dimension to the prediction result is enhanced, and the prediction precision is improved.
