Abstract
A method includes receiving a current residual vector. The current residual vector is compared to a plurality of historical residual vectors. Each historical residual vector has an associated fault classification code. At least one of the historical residual vectors is selected responsive to determining that the current residual vector matches at least one of the historical residual vectors. A fault condition is classified based on the fault classification code associated with the selected historical residual vector.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a current residual vector;
- comparing the current residual vector to a plurality of historical residual vectors, each historical residual vector having an associated fault classification code;
- selecting at least one of the historical residual vectors responsive to determining that the current residual vector matches at least one of the historical residual vectors;
- and
- classifying a fault condition based on the fault classification code associated with the selected historical residual vector.
A system, comprising:
- a fault detection unit adapted to generate a current residual vector;
- and
- a fault classification unit adapted to receive the current residual vector, compare the current residual vector to a plurality of historical residual vectors, each historical residual vector having an associated fault classification code, select at least one of the historical residual vectors responsive to determining that the current residual vector matches at least one of the historical residual vectors, and classify a fault condition based on the fault classification code associated with the selected historical residual vector.
A system, comprising:
- means for receiving a current residual vector;
- means for comparing the current residual vector to a plurality of historical residual vectors, each historical residual vector having an associated fault classification code;
- means for selecting at least one of the historical residual vectors responsive to determining that the current residual vector matches at least one of the historical residual vectors;
- and
- means for classifying the fault condition based on the fault classification code associated with the selected historical residual vector.
