Abstract

Underground Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) has become so serious that there were false alarms in monitoring system, which induced troubles of coal mine safety in production. In order to overcome difficulties caused by the explosion-proof enclosure of the equipments and the limitation of multiple startup and stop in transient process during EMI measurement, a novel technique was proposed to measure underground EMI distri- bution indirectly and enhance Electromagnetic Campatibility(EMC) of the monitoring sys- tem. The wavelet time-frequency analysis was introduced to underground monitoring sys- tem. Therefore, the sources, the startup time, duration and waveform of EMI could be as- certained correctly based on running records of underground electric equipments. The electrical fast transient/burst (EFT/B) was studied to verify the validity of wavelet analysis. EMI filter was improved in accordance of the EMI distribution gotten from wavelet analysis. Power port immunity was developed obviously. In addition, the method of setting wavelet thresholds was amended based upon conventional thresholds in the wavelet filter design. Therefore the EFT/B of data port was restrained markedly with the wavelet filtering. Coor- dinative effect of EMI power and wavelet filter makes false alarms of monitoring system reduce evidently. It is concluded that wavelet analysis and the improved EMI filter have enhanced the EMC of monitoring system obviously.
