[0066] The accuracy of the output results of the trained model is verified through the validation set. When the accuracy is higher than the set value, the second model training is completed. Otherwise, multiple second sample data are reclassified and trained until the second model training is completed.
[0067] Arc types include aging arc inside the box, fault arc inside the box, aging arc outside the box, and fault arc outside the box; the arc degree is any parameter or combination of parameters among arc duration, arc occurrence frequency, current data fluctuation value when arc occurs, and temperature data fluctuation value when arc occurs.
[0068] Fire assessment and location based on arc type and severity, including:
[0069] The fire occurrence assessment value is divided into a first assessment value and a second assessment value, the first assessment value corresponds to the fire occurrence assessment value inside the box, and the second assessment value corresponds to the fire occurrence assessment value outside the box; there are multiple first assessment values and second assessment values, which are divided according to the specific electrical line connection relationship, and different assessment values are calculated separately;
[0070] The arc degree is divided into N levels from low to high, where N is an integer greater than 0;
[0071] When the arc is an aging arc in the box, the arc degree corresponds to a level, and the first evaluation value is updated, where the updated first evaluation value = the first evaluation value before the update + N;
[0072] When the arc is a fault arc in the box, the arc degree is determined to correspond to a level, and the first evaluation value is updated, and the updated first evaluation value = the first evaluation value before the update + k*N; wherein k is a fault weighting coefficient, which is set according to experience or actual use requirements;

[0075] Controlling switches inside and / or outside the DC combiner box according to the judgment result includes:
[0076] When the first evaluation value ≥ M1, the arc type corresponding to the last update of the first evaluation value is determined.

If it is an aging arc outside the box, the switch will not operate and only an alarm will be issued. If it is a fault arc outside the box, the switch corresponding to the line corresponding to the second evaluation value outside the junction box will be controlled to disconnect and an alarm will be issued.
[0078] By continuously tracking the specific information of arcs occurring at various locations inside and outside the combiner box, the number and degree of arcs are used as indicators of electrical network performance degradation or aging, and the fire occurrence assessment value is then determined. The fire occurrence assessment information represents the probability of fire. The larger the assessment value, the greater the probability of fire. In this way, the type and degree of arcs can be discovered in time, the probability of fire can be comprehensively judged, and targeted control operations can be made to issue early alarms to reduce the probability of fire risks.
[0079] In the prior art, when judging arc faults, only fault arcs and normal arcs are considered, while the damage to the electrical network caused by each normal arc is ignored. The more serious the arc is, such as the longer the duration or the larger the arc current, the more irreversible damage will be caused to the electrical line or part where the arc is generated, and over time, it will become a weak point in electrical performance. In addition, when the line is subjected to long-term influences such as air, water vapor, and temperature changes in a complex environment, the physical structure of the line changes, such as slow oxidation, resulting in a decrease in electrical insulation performance, and arcs are also easily generated. The frequency of arcs is getting higher and higher, and the corresponding degree is getting deeper and deeper, which can also indicate that the probability of fire is getting higher and higher.
[0080] In some existing technologies, arcs are monitored specifically, and the occurrence of arcs is accompanied by arc light and electromagnetic changes. Arc faults are judged and identified through photoelectric detection and / or magnetic sensing elements. This type of method can only monitor local locations, such as wiring terminals or electrical equipment in a confined space. It is difficult to fully and effectively detect faults or fire hazards in the entire electrical network.
[0081] The above scheme of the present application fully utilizes the characteristic conduction performance of voltage, current and temperature in the electrical network, and uses the comprehensive information of voltage, current and temperature to establish a model with the arc, thereby improving the scope of the electrical network for identifying faults or fire hazards.
