This article presents novel and easily implemented tools for characterising electrical disturbances originated by fuse operations. A methodology is described that (with the use of some descriptors) led to identifying electrical disturbances of this kind. The algorithm's decision thresholds were estimated using machine learning techniques. This work was aimed at providing new tools for assessing power quality, characterising and extracting information from voltage and current records obtained from monitoring distribution systems. MATLAB was used for validating this methodology, receiving voltage and current records of simulated events in ATP-EMTP and also real events as input.

Este artículo presenta nuevas herramientas de fácil implementación para la caracterización de perturbaciones eléctricas originadas por la operación de fusibles. Se describe una metodología que, mediante el uso de algunos descriptores, permite la identificación de esta clase de perturbaciones eléctricas. Los umbrales de decisión del algoritmo son estimados mediante técnicas de aprendizaje automático. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo proporcionar nuevas herramientas para evaluar la calidad de energía, caracterizando y extrayendo información de los registros de tensión y corriente obtenidos a través de la monitorización en los sistemas eléctricos de distribución. La validación de la metodología se realiza en MATLAB tomando como señales de entrada algunos registros de tensión y corriente obtenidos por simulación en ATP-EMTP y utilizando también algunos registros de eventos reales.
