The parallel processing capability of FPGA 5 enables the rapid execution of the radial basis function neural network, meeting real-time requirements. This provides real-time, high-efficiency, flexibility, scalability, accuracy, and low power consumption in early warning analysis of circuit breaker defects. Furthermore, FPGA 5 can implement hardware acceleration of the radial basis function neural network, converting the algorithm into a hardware description language and implementing it on FPGA 5, thereby significantly improving processing speed and efficiency. The FPGA 5 and central processing unit 1 work together to form a complete system. FPGA 5 is responsible for real-time data processing and accelerated computing, while central processing unit 1 is responsible for logical control and high-level decision-making, to achieve the best early warning effect. When calculating the radial basis function neural network, for each input sample Xi, the output of the hidden layer neuron j can be calculated by substituting the distance between the input sample and the center point into the radial basis function, that is; represents the response of the hidden layer neuron j to the input sample Xi; represents the center point vector of the jth hidden layer neuron.

[0027] The output layer of the radial basis function neural network is a linear combination of the outputs of the hidden layer neurons. Specifically, if the hidden layer has h neurons, the output of the output layer neurons can be expressed as; where is the weight from hidden layer neuron j to output layer neuron k, and is the response of hidden layer neuron j to output layer neuron k.

When any of the current is too large or too low, the voltage is too large or too low, or a short circuit occurs in the circuit, the power circuit is cut off. By cutting off the power circuit, the entire early warning system is protected to prevent components from being burned under abnormal conditions.
